just thought i'd share. i'm very pleased with the look and the fit. there is no rubbing what so ever. even at full lock. the ride is soooo much nicer than my old junky 235's that i had on there. i know it's not much, but i can really tell a difference in the height of the truck when i'm driving it. makes me want a lift really bad.

if u want to lift it then maybe consider shackles? $60 investment. one of the best investments i made cause they helped me fit 33's

When I first ditched the 235's for 31's I was kind of dissapointed. It really doesn't look that much bigger, but when I got it out on the trail was when the extra ground clearance became evident. It's really not much more, (maybe an inch at best), but I definatly noticed that I am able to drive over obstacles now that would have hung me up or dragged the under carraige with 235's.
