Nope...31's are as high as u can go without the suspension lift. You could fit 32's with alot of trimming. Unless u get custom fenders.

I'm not sure exactly how much the custom fenders cost, but they do have some of those baja style fenders. One of the guys on the board had them installed on his truck and he's running 33's. No matter what size rims you have, it's the width and height of the tire that will determine if it rubs or not. You could have 2x2 inch rims and 33's would still rub..haha ;) So my suggestion is to stay with 31's. I am running 31's on my 6 inch lift. I don't want to go up to 33's because then i will need a change of gears as well. That's like $400. Bleh.

I have 265-70-17 cooper mud terrains on my two wheel drive. at stock height they did rub pretty bad, but with a 2inch daystar coilspacer in the front end they barely scrub. per coopers website these tires measure out to 31.75- 11.06-17.
hope this helps.

Yeah my buddy is an Ex-cooper MT boy. Had em twice...but said they wear down really fast, because of teh soft compound. Now he's running Goodyear's MT/Rs. We'll see what he says about those...but i will always prefer BFG Mudders ;)

Haha, thanks, i did get bugged by the campus safety police officers about that. ;) The body lift was $150 and the suspension lift was $750. I installed the body myself, but had a friend install the suspension for only a case of beer ;)

Tires are 31 inch BFGgoodrich Mud Terrain Ta Km's. The newer versions of the BFG mudders have better sidewalls which i think made them stand out better ;) Umm, the body lift..i'm not sure where i got it, my ex got it for me on my bday ;) I think it was 4wheelparts.com or AIM guys.
