Lowest lift possible with 31" tires...
 

Hey guys, I know there are already a ton of threads about 3" lift fitting 31" tires and what not. I'm not a fan of over the top lifts and making a HCG. So I'm going with a 1.5" OME lift, and doing some trimming on my fenders and buying these flares. http://www.quadratec.com/products/72506_7010_07.htm

Has anyone seen this run? I've tried looking for it but have found nothing in a way of pics to see what it looks like. Also any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

31s and flat flares will look ridiculous. Dont know why you think 3 inches will give you a HCG but your wrong there. 3 inches and 31s or 32s.. hell even 33s is ideal for a LCG rig. Sure you can fit 31s and bigger on a 1.5 inch lift but calling 3 inches HCG is off. Skip the 400 dollar bushsmackers and buy yourself a decent 3 inch kit, and run 31s or 32s. Youll be happy.

Please clarify how so?

And I'm not going any higher than a 1.5" lift.

I just think the flares make the tires look smaller than they already are..
You must not have done much searching..I found a thread right off where a guy has 31s and flatties...just not 1.5" You wont find many if any pictures because I doubt anyone has ran 1.5 31s and flatties.

I did search, possibly not as extensive as you.... i dont like the width now... guess i'll just cut up my fenders and go fenderless.

BTW there wasnt a 1.5" lift in there, everyone had 3" or more.

Good thinking.. All I googled was xj flat flares 31s..first thread to pop up. Flatties look good with 33s+ I say go with 2+ inches 31s and trimming.

Lol 1.5" lift. 31's fit with no lift. If you're getting flares, you're cutting the fenders anyway.

1.5" is already bought, so I'll be doing more trimming...lol

I had 31's on a 2" BB with some minor trimming. Only rubbing I had was on the LCA's at full lock.

I understood that was going to need to trim the flares, that was never the question.

Those flares will require you to cut your fenders.... a lot...

So what are you trying to ask? 31's won't rub after your flares are installed with no lift, unless you don't compensate for back spacing and rub on your control arms.
