i think most of us that have 31's are running the factory 15x7" rim.

the general rule of thumb is to keep tire and wheel width within 2-3" of one another.

31's, 3.0 w/3.73 gearing

its not terrible. but its not a race car either. it takes some getting used to. the back will get out of line in 1st if you dont watch what your doing and it'll still catch 2nd gear rubber (just a chirp).

the truck is no longer my daily driver. it only goes out and about now when im towing or 'wheeling, so i want to go with 4.56's to get my crawl ratio back.
