Its time to go and get new tires, i hate how small the stockers r at 28x9 i think they r, i would like to go 32x11.5 but im positive i wouldnt be able to fit them wit only 2 inches of lift consisting of: tt, shackles, and an aal, and i dont wanna have to deal with puttin on a body lift. So i was thinking with those 2 inches "shouldnt" i be able to fit some 31x11.5 w/o ne or very very minimum trimming? thanx in advance

ps: do any of you know of some 31x11.5 tires companies? and yes i will be getting sum new wheels that r 15x8 with 3.75 backspacing

Since your truck is 2WD, you can go beyond 2" in the front. you should be able to run 32 without any trimming since your 2WD but I would do a test fit first.
 






well i havent actually gotten down and tried the tt, but through all of the searching, ive constantly read people who have maxed out at 2inches or the bolt wasnt big enough, something to that extent, i would test fit a pair of 32's but i dont know ne1 who lives near me with 32, so my backup would be 31x11.5, do u think those would have a better chance of fittin than the 32's?
 






there are a bunch of companies that make 31x11.50. Super Swamper and Mickey Thompson do. Pro Comp and BFG make some 31x12.50s.
 






i dont think super swamper and mickey t make ne decent on road tires, since im prolly 80% on road- 20% off, and i think 31x12.5 would look kinda goofy imo
 






Just go with a 31x10.5x15 for now..
 






Get 31x10.5's and some new rims, 8 inch rims instead of the stock 7 inchers, this will make the 10.5's look even wider and you won't have fitting issues.
 






Goodyear Wrangler AT comes in 31x11.5. I have them on the back of my truck, and they look better than the 31x10.5 on the front. Oh and they fit fine.
 






thats interesting, 2 different size tires, ill most likely just end up doin warrior shackles and a tt, for about a 1in lift, and put on sum 31x10.5 bfg m/t
 






I just grabbed me some cheap used ones to get me to Moab and back. Later this summer I'm getting new 32s or 33s not sure yet. The 2 different sizes looks OK really.
