I had them on there when I only had the suspension lift installed.

The only problem was that the front of the rear fender came very close to the tire.  And I imagine if I tried to flex the sespension it would have jammed right in.

If you are willing to trim your fenders, the 31's would fit pretty good with a 3" suspension lift.

Its not much more for the body lift as well so I'd likely go for the combo...then if I chose to I could go up to 33's without much hassle...thanks for the info

I took my Traker for a ride once without the rear drive shaft.  (Ducked taped a cup to the output so I wouldn't sling oil every where.)

What a ride!  It's realy squrraly!!  Be careful if you try it.


In my 92 Bronco, on it's first trip with the lift several years ago, I broke the double cardon joint in the rear ds. I had to drive 2 hours home in 4-wheel front wheel drive. That's why I mentioned about the sharp slow speed turns.

I couldn't go very far in just front wheel drive.  Maby it had something to do with me not having a sway bar?  I was all over the road.

Me too. Plus the Bronco weighs some 6k#'s. 6" suspension +2" bl., on 35's. Front axle is TTB (twin traction beam) so it's a mix of straight axle and IFS.
