Also, I'm on 4" with 31s and don't rub anywhere. Looking to go 33s when I cut my fenders and put bigger flares on. This is my rear end with a 33 and a 31 up front on stock flares.

Good eye... no aal, but a 3.5" pack that sits a little higher than advertised (5" before they settled). But now it's closer to 3.75 since I added a new bumper and tire carrier.

How do you find that information without actually buying the tires first?

Your rear tire looks much lower/higher past the body line, which made me think it's closer to 3-3.5". 33s on mine as you see is just a little past the body line, 31s are just under.
