31" on an '04 X

I was talking with Cornick about mods to my vehicle and I think I remember him telling me I could get away with 31" tires without having to add a suspension lift or a PML... anyone know somebody with such a mod and/or how it worked out for them??

I could be wrong but I think 04 is stock with 31s (metric, tad bit smaller).

You'll be fine with most 265/75/16 (32x10.5) tires, on stock 16" rims. I had 265/75/16 BFG AT KO's on my '01 before I had any lift. All I did was swap out the plastic behind the front wheel wells with ones from an '02+...the trimming is already done for you. It'll be close, but it will clear.

31's will fit fine with no lift at all and probably no trimming on a '04. 32's will fit with a pml.

Ok, cool cause I just blew out my back left tire somehow and I'm riding with my spare. I dont see the purpose in getting two brand new 28"'s instead of buying 4 31" tires that I'll get a lot of use out of. If they scrape a little I'll just trim them a bit. Thanks

I'm running 31" BFG's with no trimming or lift, and had them before the t-bar crank. And that's on an '01.

I'm looking to go with 33" BFG M/T on a 15" rim.I've got the 3" Body Lift (to be installed come spring time) and from what I've read around the net they should be ok...I hope

33's will fit fine with a 3" BL. I had my 33's with just a SL and that worked well too, with some minor rubbing. With a BL, since there no compression, you should have no rubbing at all. You just may have to trim plastic at the back of your front wheel wells.

Scott,

What would your opinion be of 32's under a PML? I'm running 31x10.5" BFG AT KO's and am probably going to upgrade to the 32x11.5's when these are in need of replacement. I'm not looking to spend the $$ on an SL or BL.

Think I'll have major issues?

I'm actually planning on removing most of the plastic when the "Construction" begins this spring (Going from 100% stock to one lean mean Mudding machine).I figured it would be ok,Speedy and Thumper run the same tires I want to get on their Pathfinders,and all they have is the 3" BL,I think Speedy had to trim a little off the bottom of his fender,but it wasn't that much or very noticable....I can't wait to get everything done.
