I just got done removing my air shock system to regular shocks. I did a TT to even up the ride. I measure 33" in the rear and 32 1/4" in the front. Looking to upgrade my tires. Would 31's be good or should I do shackles and/or BL?
 






You should be able to clear 31s fine. Some have problems at full lock with 31s in stock form but most don't. I say get 31s and worst case they rub a bit at full lock until you can lift more. Which you can usually avoid full lock anyways or just trim away whatever is rubbing.
 






Thanks Afrojoe......not afraid to do a little trimming!
 






With a full TT and Shackles you might be able to fit 32s with trimming. That's honestly my plan once my current tires wear down some. But I also plan to get done 15x8 rims with 3.75 backspace to push them out some. Enjoy the X and come back often! Plenty of good enough on here and always people willing to help.
