Looking to upgrade my tires on my '93.
I'm interested in using F150 coil spring spacers on the front and Warrior #153 shackles in the rear. I believe this should give me as mush as 1.5 inch of lift.

I have replaced the OEM wheels with 15x8 replacements. Can I run 31's and avoid having to trim fenders?

I reviewed the tire size/lift height thread, but would like to confirm with the local experts!!
Thanks
 






With 15x8 wheels you might rub a smidgen on the rear of your front fenderwells...but have no fear, it's plastic, just pull it back or trim has you need, or let it run, neither will hurt, and it'll look sweet.
 






alot of guys run 31's stock height. but like byrd said if it does rub it will be very little and trimming is hardly noticable.
 






I have a spacer/shackle lift with 31s on my '92 X. It looks sweet and rubs slightly on 15x7s at full lock on uneven ground. Good Luck.

P.S. Pics in my sig and gallery.
