Lots of pictures!


Rubbing all depends on the quality of the lift equipment and true size of the tire. Might have some when steering.

What about when you flex? I just don't want it hitting the flares. That's the reason I lifted it in the first place

Just get extend your steering stops a teensie bit and you will be fine. 31s fit easy on a 3 inch. If you want pics there is a thread for that at the top of this section.

ktm racer419 has an awesome thread on less lift more tires.

I run 2.5" lift and 32's.

Extend the bumps. Proper backspacing. Stick with 10.5 or skinnier tires.

2000 3inch on 31s barley rubs the flairs when turning in when axle shifts. But don't bother me.

If you get a little rubbing, you can help alleviate it with a couple inches more lift.
