The endless question! 31 or 32

Mostly street truck, will see dirt roads but never hard off- roading have done tt/ shackle 3.73's don't want to kill milage real bad. Daily driver 60-75 miles a day. Don't want to do body lift, don't have $ to do superlift. will put on BFG T/A's on stock teardrops. (yes 11.5 will fit on a 7" rim) So I ask ? 31's or 32's????

I second Alec's Vote...

I third it. I had 32s with only TT/shackles and I HAD to do a body lift due to rubbing (even after cutting metal).

I say 31's.. with 3.73's and 32's you will lose a little power.. and since you don't really wheel it, why lose the power when you don't need to.

the only reason y i ask

is because i have seen other ex's on the street with 31's and they don't look any higher then mine now. and runing stock tire size now (235x75x15)

 

[X-1]

235x75x15 should measure out to 29 inches, a 31 inch tire will give you about 1 inch of lift, and will also throw off your speedometer a little, plus the 10 inch width would be bstter on the stock wheel than the 11.5 width on a 32 inch tire. Also the 31 will give you more free travel with out rubbing in the wheel wells. A 32 inch tire is only going to give you 1/2 inch more lift than a 31, and also may give you grief with the rubbing issue as well as shift points, and speedometer reading. Lots of things to consider when up sizing tires.

I also agree on 31X10.50...

Well that just bites

You know I had a '96 ranger before this and always wanted to put 32's or 33's on it but could not because of a 4 banger (had a 4in. lift)

O' well 31's it is!
