Lets put it this way - if you want any oversizdd tire and not have to worry about rub and gain the benefit of the clearance & articulation, your gonna have to trim to some extent

Sigh* alright
So here's my list to add 2" on to my 3.5"

2" budget boost
Shackle relocation brackets
Longer shocks
Longer rear brake line
8.25
Most likely 33" general grabbers at2
Lower control arms(not sure what brand)
I already have longer front brake lines,longer sway bar connects and a adj track bar

Now I'm thinking add one inch and 31s this is a little to much on my highschool budget. I'm so indecisive lol
Edit: ok so I'm definitely adding 1" inch now and going with 31s would I still need new shocks?

Why are you adding a inch? 3.5 will be more than enough for 31s
