Default New lift and tires

I just got finished adding some 2" lift shackles (3leaf fab) and a 1.5" T-Bar crank, i also got some new TOYO open country A/T ( 31x10.50-15R)

this is a pic of it with just the shackles on it and a T-Bar crank...

and a closer shot of the shackles (it looks really rusty back there, darn canadian rain and snow all the time)...

and this is it, it looks so much better IMO

this is the stock tire beside the new 31

The pictures dont really do it justice, it looks amazing, and thank you to everyone who posts here for your knowledge and answering my questions!!! (and ps. i used that search button a million times to find all the info i needed so i wouldnt double post hahaha)

Those 3leaf shackles sure do look good

What size were the old tires? I have the same ones in 235/70r15
