Default i need more lift

I have a rc 3'' lift, but just looking at my 235's it looks like there is no way 31x10.50's are going to fit with out trimming the front bumper caps. I am thinking about getting a 1.5'' budget to add on. Could someone give me a run down on everything I need to go 1.5'' or 2'' higher(track bar,brake lines),all the stuff to do it right.

31" will fit a 3" lift without trimming. 3" lifts are designed for 31" tires. 31" tires are only 1" bigger than a 235/75 tire

i thought 235s were just about 29" tires.. shurgs.. i just got new 31's and they are way bigger then my 235s.. but they should fit under a 3".. im running a 4.5 and i can still go up 2 sizes with minor trimming it looks like..

You are correct 235s are about 29", 30" are about 29.75" and 31" are about 30.5". A 31" tire is much bigger than a 235 1-1.5" in diameter and a little more than 1" in width. A 4.5" lift is designed around 32" tire and can go to 33 with very light trimming.
