I have a 95 4x4 6" suspension, 3" body lift and 35s. It rubs wery slightly in sharp turns and rubs in the rear when flexed and on the front fenders.... a 2wd with a 5.5 inch and a 3" BL will rub, maybe not on the street, but over a bump or hitting an actual mud hole (not a flat wet grass field, an actual mud hole) Im willing to bet it will.

According to Scott, flexing won't make it rub. Now jumping it and coming down flat like on the dunes, yeah. Then it'll rub.

I don't think anyone is trying to "beat" neo at anything. He's just annoying everyone with his "wet grass patch" offroading pictures.

He's in Louisianna. What do you expect? For him to climb Mt. Everest with it? Maybe nobody could take pics of when he was hitting the mud...

This. To go through the mud holes... You kinda have to be IN the truck. Not outside taking ultra sweet iPhone pics.

How the hell did this go from asking if anyone runs the kit with 31"s to the internet version of the special Olympics? It's pretty simple, Camburg recommends a 31" tire on a 15x7" wheel with stock fenders. Does anyone run their kit this way and if so do you have pictures?
If you can't read a sentence from beginning to end and not understand what is being asked then maybe you should spend less time on the internet and more time with that Hooked on Phonics video that your parents bought you for your 25th birthday. And I'm sorry that your 2nd grade teacher was sent to an insane asylum because you kept insisting that your sandwich was full of words and pictures.
