I am looking at installing a Metalcloak 3.5" lift and was wondering it the extra lift would allow me to run 32/11.50R15 tires without any trimming. Also if I run the 31/10.50 tires will I have enough clearance with the stock rims. Thanks

I'm currently running 31x10.50r15 BFGs. One of my tires is almost done for and the other 3 are in 75%+ shape still (previous owner swapped out the spare so that's why 3 are good and 1 is bald)

I'm looking to step up to 32x11.50r15 and I was considering going with the Kenda Klever MT. Anyone here running those tires? I see some pretty great reviews out there for them and I can get a set of 4 for $616.

When I make the move on new tires I will have the 3 good 31"s for sale as well. Hit me up if you're interested in buying them, I can provide pics and I can also ship.

Now a tire that I am having good luck with is the mastercraft courser mxt. Same size as you want. Awesome tread wear and good ride. I have em for around 8k miles and they look brand new.
