If you don't ever want to rub the wheel well or fenders, go with 30's even after the BL. If a little BFH work on the wheel well and/or fender doesn't bother you, then wait until after the BL and get 31's.

It all depends on the type and actual size of tires though.

Pirelli makes a 30 x 9.5 Scorpion A/T tire @ 29.6" dia.

I would wait until you can do the 31's.
Because the 30's are a little bigger than the 235/75/15 stocks tires

It'll be a bit of a gamble with 31's after the BL, but I would go that route. Mine don't rub at all, and I've BFG all terrains with a very square tread design.

Hi all it's been a while. I am going to try the GoodYEar MTR's in 30x9.5 in a couple of weeks. I love the aggresive look of these tires.
I'm running Daystar Shackles and 2" spacers in the rear. I might do the Tbar Crank before the tires, then get an alignment too.
After reading the old thread on those Bilstiens, I might have to do shocks soon too.

Almost a year since your last post

We thought for sure you sold out to the fullsize like the others

No, still got the Crew Cab. wish it got better mileage! Can't wait for a Jeep diesel 4-door pick up or a hybrid. Gas is $2.59 here. OUCH.
Yeah it's been a while, I was going to take photos after the Daystars but never did. I promise to get some after my tires. Also bought a new Harley Softail--

So I've been playing with that. Although I haven't posted in a long time-I have lurked a little. Then I lost the site

I did a cuople of searches and found the link from an S-10 Site.

Diesel is not far behind and the price of parts doesn't make them the bargain they once were, IMO.

... bought a new Harley Softail--

That will improve the gas mileage average, with style

I'd love to have one someday. For now I'm stuck with my 21 year old rice-rocket

a 10 second ride that gets 42 mpg is awful hard to beat. I can't believe that I can spend $12 filling the tank on a motorcycle though!

Yeah, the mileage is great on the bike. I take it to work, but I work in a ghetto and I hate leaving it out at night.
