Default six inch lift and 31's

i have a six inch lift for my 91 xj. ive been trying to trade my 31s for some 33s or 35s and ive had bites but cant come through with a trade. so i was wondering if anyone has run a 6inch with 31s and had a picture of what it looked like.

thanks, mike

No pic, but it's gonna look weird. My 33s look odd with 6" lift right now.

Here ya go! Looks great IMO! I do not like the "stuffed" look though. Plus I do not have to trim anything!

That looks like a 4.5" on 31's. Basically add 1.5" between the tires and flares and that's how yours will look.

How wide are your 31's? And wheel spacing?. Guess im wondering cause everyone cuts so it does look ok but tires need to be inset some or wider. Jm2cw

You can get great flex with 31"s. one day Ill get my 6" lift and 35's... one day. but all I play in is mud and who cars about flex when you have mud

Yeah ... but are your fenders trimmed? His aren't & mine are trimmed heavily in the front. I guess that's why mine looks odd

That looks a lot better than I was expecting.

I have been wondering how it would look also because I just plan on getting 31" treadwrights with a little lift until I get my 6" either Clayton of Full Traction kit.

After seeing this, I won't be in a hurry to get bigger tires.
