31s fit that truck stock or at least they do on my truck

 

[Downey]

dude 31s will fit with no mods if your planning a lift at least 33s

 

[Doom's Day Custom]

oh okay but will i rub if i start woods bashing it or get the suspension to cycle while 4 wheeling

 

[Downey]

no


here is my truck with 31s and all stock

oh thank you very much and what would i need for 33'

 

[Downey]

either a 3 inch bl or a 4 inch susp lift

 

[Doom's Day Custom]

oh okay thank you very much but i think i will stick with 31' but is there anything i should worry about that might break while 4 wheeling with 31' or anything that should be upgraded!!!

 

[Downey]

[Doom's Day Custom]

my truck with 31s stock everything. only time i got the tires to rub was when i was under a lot of flex and turning the tires would hit the frame a little but barely
