a 1.5 inch tbar crank 2 inch shackle lift would work with 31s with stock s10 rims

I had to grind my plastic fender flares about an inch but it all worked out well

if you have sagging tbars (weak) the 31s will rub you need to make sure your getting an inch 1/2 lift

also you might wanna swap out your shocks later on since stockers are shorter since you lifted the truck

I still didn't replace them yet but mine are going so imma buy the ones made for 2 inch lift in the future

If I wanted to run 33's what gearing would I have to go with? I was thinking 4.10 or 4.56 I can't remember the exact number. As for the lift I would do 2" t bar crank , 2" rear lift shackles, and a 3" body lift so that should be more than enough clearance just need to know what gears to use.

i think 4.10s are good for 33s and tbars can only be cranked 1.5 inches

Unless you buy rough countrys new 2.5 inch suspension lift

Sweet, so I am think that is going to be my final plan I have been changing my mind so many times but I think I am finally decided 1.5" t bar crank, 2" rear lift shackles, 3" body lift, 4.10 gears, and 33" tires on my stock wheels ....... how do you all think it will turn out? you will have to wait until I get my $$$ and check out my build thread lol
