Talking New mud tires!!!

Well, I got my new tires delivered Saturday........ They look like they might just fit. Do you guys think a 2 inch body lift and minor trimming will make them work? I have an angle grinder, hammer, and sheet metal cutters. LOL

wow are those 31's? they look a little big. and they are mickey thompsons I bet you paid a pretty penny for those. if they are any bigger than 31's you are going to have to lift it more than just 2 inches. if they are 32's you can get away with a body lift tbar crank and shackles with some trimming but if those are 33's you have to lift it 6 inches without cutting the crap out of your fenders.

I would have to agree with benedict. I have the trail master 5 inch lift kit and tbars cranked and I still had to trim out a good 3 to 4 inches from the fender closest to the door to keep from rubbing at all with 33s.

Haha. Oh yeah I forgot to say that they are 33"x12.5R15. Here in about 3 weeks, I'm gonna install a 2" PA body lift, then get 4wheelparts to install the trailmaster 5" kit, and these MT 33" MTZ tires. I just wanted to show everyone my new rubbers. lol. After that, probably only slight rubbing would occur. It's my DD so it won't see the trails too often : ( , so I'm not gonna go crazy on trimming fenders. I just wanted to hear what you guys thought about it.

Make sure you post pics.... Those tires are pretty sweet, I Almost went with those as well but I am glad with my choice since I will be on the street 90 percent of the time.I cant wait to see some pics of your ride when you get the lift on. Keep us updated.

I'm gonna install the body lift by myself next weekend (not this coming one). Are there any heads up you guys know of to make that run smooth. I wish someone would help me, but all my buddies wouldn't answer me when I asked them, they just laughed. Not cool.......
