newbie here with a new project

your right, dam one year off and he would be good.

OP, you can get a coil and shackle that will lift you 2" for about 300. but i dont see why you couldnt fit 31's

my factory tire size if 225/70/15. or a 27.5 tire. im now running my 32" mud tires.

ill show you what i mean.
27's

32's

what you have to measure is the height between the top of your tire and bottom of your fender. also check clearence when at full crank.

My friend has a 94 4x4 with sagging stock front springs, and he has 32x11.5's on it. honestly i got told 31's would rub. they didnt. not even close.

take your top measurement(tire to fender), subtract about 2.5 inches and add whats left to the height of your stock tire. thats how tall you can go.

now take the clearance you have at full crank(between tire and frame, at closest point), subtrack 1 inch and add whats left to the width of your stock tire. thats how wide you can go.

this changes if you get new rims, but these numbers will keep you from rubbing even if you hit a bump while cranked.


also, if your going to buy different rims, id get a 15x8. allows you to run not only a 31, but a 32 as well.



really easy way of figuring it out. thats how i knew my 32's wouldnt rub.

You need to lift that thing a bit, Bro. Those tires have scraped a few times. You do not drive it hard as you must pamper it. I can tell by loooking at the front end those tires will rub when you peg a bad dip or a bump in the road. I have seen a lot of people around here that have done what you have done and then they add a bit of a lift 'cause they don't want to tear any of their suspension parts up.
