Goign to buy a body lift (2 or 3 inch) But not too sure what i can run. Would 31's look alright under a 2 inch or would 3 be better? Any help or problems that can be seen if installed? Steering and such forth?

Thanks.

32's will look right with possible fender trimming. YOur gonna have to unstrap pretty much everything from itas straps when you do the 3 inch. steering extension will be the hardest as its hard to get leverage on the bolt. if you got air tools your fine. do a search. this has been discussed numerous times.
 






Not to long ago someone posted the same question. Might do a search on it. It had a lot of hits on it. I think he went with a 3" Higher COG though. Also it was pointed out that your frame will show more with a 3. But IMO a frame is a beautifull thing LOL
 






i have a 2" with the TT/shackles. 33's fit with very minor rubbing. but i corrected that by stick a piece of pipe between the tire and fender and pushing the fender back some(if you do it carefully you won't chip the paint or anything) and i removed the sideskirts because you'll eventually land your rocker on a well placed rock and that rock will take them off for you. and the inner fender plastic needed to be shaved a bit. but you can hardly noticed i modified the wheel wells at all. my next adventure is 35's with the same lift :)

p.s. 31's are puny. be a man, dont go less than 32's
 






I've got 32's on a 2" suspension with very little rubbing. Check the pictures in the registry if you want to see it. If you're gonna do a body lift I'd go with 32's.
