Well, chances are they will fit just fine with no lift. But it seems that you are right, a few have had a little trouble with 31's. Your best bet would be to go to a tire shot and have them test mount one for you on the front. Put it back on the ground and see if it rubs. I'm pretty sure you won't have any trouble.

The sports seems to handle them pretty well...If anything your rub will just be the plastic front inner fenders..I had 31's on my 91 for a while stock with no problems...If you do a 2" Body lift youll be set...

turner 55 you will be fine maybe inner plastic trimming

ok89 you may need torsion twist/shackles...but you probably wont have a problem with minimal plastic trimming


My 31s on stockers with only plastic triming
