age old question, 31s
 
been looking around not finding much on the question im asking.

With a wider stance would it be possible to get 31s under my 04 without a lift?

really dont have the money for new tires and i need them badly, have a practically new set of 31s on another truck right now that i can use..

i think my wheels are backspaced at 3.75 they stick out about 2 inches i think.

i would be whilling to do some trimming just dont want to rub the frame or anything else i cant trim. not worried about fenders as much.

Yes. Torsion cranked and fenders trimmed. 31-10.50/15 on 15x10 inch rims. 1.25 inch adapters to widen the stance.

A little in the rear. But today im changing out my torsion keys and shackles. Hopefully it eliminate that.

i think i would want to buy new keys and shackles before attempting this, my suspension is in need of new parts i think, iv never replaced any of it.

Im wondering what it would be best to replace while i have stuff apart already.

my tires in the garage are 31-10-15 so im thinking they should work fine.

wasnt there someone on here selling shackles? i am interested in buying some

just need to lift it up a tad.

Ball joints, and if they're not in good condition, the CV shafts. If you're cranking the T-bar, these parts would be first to go due to the new angles. Both are "fairly" easy to replace, and don't cost too much.
