31's aren't tall enough to keep your pumpkin from getting held up on the corner of a railroad tie when a train is coming... ask me how I know.
No, I was not driving, I was in the back seat of a friend's jeep telling him to get over before he got hung up... obviously he didn't listen. Same guy I told to go slow into the water so if it got too deep he could back out, so he floored it and did this... I gotta stop riding with that guy, lol.

Got a similar ride to yours. However I had to start with the Rough Country 3" since the budget was tight and flex isn't the main thing I need...just ground clearance. 31" AT tires and stock steelies for me though...will replace down the line. Mine is a 2000 with a bad motor, but that'll be remedied once the funds come around.
Will keep an eye on it, be interesting to see with the bigger lift.

Lift height has very little to do with flex. the control arms travel through the same path on a 6.5" as they do on a 3". The main difference is ground clearance... and tire clearance, lol. That is... Unless you have long arms...
