Take a look at bowshooter1's picture and see for yourself. It really comes down to what your definition of 'fit' is. My definition is no trimming and under all articulation & steering angles. Besides, with a 2" torsion lift you'll risk premature ball joint failure.

That is why 31's don't "fit" without ~5" of lift or a WHOLE mess of clearancing on the 2nd gens.

haha ya i know on the front i need to get some zr2 torsion bars but im talking about the drop on the rear. but i just went to church and actually got one front tire and one rear tire off the ground and it was only about 2 inches lower than the pictures i posted.

Here's a couple old ones before my most recent mods. It was right at the point that the driver tire started to spin. I didn't keep going until the g80 kicked in but I will next time. The curb on the passenger side is just ove 4 inches as well.
