you may have to trim. depending on how bad your springs are sagging. plus trimming to fit 31s looks sweet!

i would just do it and see if you encounter rubbing. you most definitely will with the steering wheel fully locked

I am leaning towards doing this as well.. I ran 30"s stock with no rubbing, so I think 31"s with 1.5" lift may be doable.
