Default 4x4 question

This may be a dumb question but i'm wondering. Can I drive my Jeep if I have 31" tires in the back but the stock 225 75s in the front. Obviously I wouldn't use 4x4 only 2wd. Is it ok to drive like that around town. Only using 2 hi?

i would think so but somewhere in the owners manual it says not to run different size tires. Might mess some stuff up. idk

You will be fine in 2 HI only. If you hit 4-HI, BAD things will happen. Very bad things....
