alright now to my next question.... Will these fit with no clearance issues at stock ride hight? I'm an going to get a lift for it pre soon but i can't decide to do a body lift of suspension, any insight would be good.
I am running them on a bone stock 1993 XLT with no rub at all. They are 31-10.50 on stock rims.

they *should fit without rubbing.....but if they rub at all and you dond off-road at all....a 2in bl would cure that....if you off-road a suspension lift would be better because it gives you more flex and more clearnce. Shackels in the rear and F-150 coil seats would be the suspension lift.
i have 31x10.5x15 swampers w/ 5" in the front and they still rubbed a little bit...just minor trimming but they still rub just a tad at full flex...i have 15x8's w/ 3 5/16 backspacing...get the lift then get the tires...
I have 31x10.50R15's on my '92. The driver's side front wheel rubs a little on the wheel well when in a full left turn, but other than that they fit great. They would both rub on the sway bar if I had that still installed.
It seems that whether or not 31's will fit depends on the specific vehicle. Some have no rubbing at all and some do. The only way to know for sure if they will rub on yours is to install them and try them out.
'98 4x2 Sport, no lift, not even a Torsion Twist. 31x10.50-15 BFG TA A/T KO's on 15x8 AR 767's. No trimming and it roubbed once in the rear on a washout road when I was loaded to the gills camping. Never rubbed on the street.
