How funny would 31" M/Ts look on a 4.5" lift kit? Or not funny at all?
Pictures would be nice.

Thanks,

Truthfully I dont think the fact of having a 4.5 inch lift would be funny to say the least with 31 inch tires. I personally wud favor such a build due to the fact you have more room to articulate and less tire is being tucked under your fenders. The only thing here I would worry about is make dam sure you have bum stops installed because you will probably hit your frame rail on your axle having this much difference in space. Though I guess that would also depend on whether or not you have an aftermarket track bar and disconnected sway bars to allow you to articulate more. Had I had the funds I would have done this to my jeep, currently just running a 3 inch sadly. Oh well no big deal I will eventualy get the 4.5 but by the time I get that I may swap it for an 8 inch and put 35s on it. With that being said I suppose I should get my axles changed as 35s might burn my gears in my 8.25. LOL

 

Axle hitting the frame? 35s burning up your gears? 8 inch"?

BTT I've done it and it looks goofy. I ran 32s and 4" and that looked good to me.

 

Found this pic. It is exactly what I have with 31s.... I dont think it looks that bad.

 

To each is own but I think it would look better on 32s or 3" lift.

 

i didnt like the look on my truck with the 31's and a 4.5" lift

I dont think it looks bad either, in fact I would go as far as cutting off the fender flares, raise the fender wells and reattach bush flares. The more room the merrier I am.

 

Well, I also have an ax-15 with 3.07 gears.... 31s would be questionable with these gears.... 32s are almost out of the question. I agree that 32s look better, but id prefer not to drop down into 3rd to make it up the average hill. Plus, I found a killer deal on 31s haha.

 

Have a RE 4.5 with 31x10.50x15 BFG Muds. Had to do some minor trimming on the front fenders to stop some rubbing. If you are trying not to do a lot of trimming this is the way to go.

 

they look fine...i dont know why everyone trys to stuff the biggest tire on them they can fit...i plan to run 33's on my 6.5" kit

 

depends on what the vehicle is for

 

very true......

 

31's look fine, plenty of room to flex if you don't feel like trimming. And not too noticeable of a power loss with stock gears.
