That combination is completely safe and has been run by many members without incident. Although the tire is taller than stock it is also wider.. The width increases overall vehicle track width and thus stability. My 1st gen (5" lift) sits on 33x12.5s and feels much more stable than stock.. But again 12.5 tires are VERY wide (as seen in the pic below)

so me runnin 31x1050's on stock wheels really wont hurt anything?

nope shouldn't. And you can't fit 33s without trimming. 31s should fit fine

ok thanks guys

they are not unsafe at all.. i ran 32-11.50s with a body lift for a long time and never had a proble.... like ExplorerDMB said though you will need some lift to fit anything bigger then a 31-10.50. I see you already have a tt and shackles, and im not sure about what tires you can clear with those, im a first gen guy, ask around im sure someone can tell you how big you can go without trimming.

You'll be fine with 31's. With a tt and shackles you may be able to get away with 32's, but you may have to trim the fenders some. I would say 31's would be your best option and they will be perfectly safe as long as you drive like you are driving a truck, not a sports car.
