IDK if you have Firestone out your way but sometimes they have a special deal buy 3 get 1 free. But they don't promote it online. You need to go there. When I got my 3 inch lift, I got 30's. They run true to size unlike most tires. I put them on 15X7 rims and everyone thought they were 31's. If you get a 31" tire, it's only gonna be maybe 30.4-30.6 inches anyway. So you could spend the 30" money in Firestone MT's for the look of the 31's. Plus, less issues with fenders ect.

Here's some pics for a reference for when I was at 3 inch

Well ya they're gonna look like 31's. Its only 1". Try telling the difference between the two on the same vehicle.

Well yesterday I ended up getting some rims off craigslist. There called canyons and I think they came stock on some wranglers. Any way I got 5 for $100 and it seemed to be a great deal. Now all I need are some tires.
