Re: new tires !!
Tom,
In your pic with the 31s, did you have a lift installed? Would you reccomend
something like a 2" lift with going up to 31s, or would this make it look
out of proportion?
Have a slight issue with ground clearance at the moment...

Re: new tires !!
My friend runs a 2" lift with 31's...he could fit a 32 but stayed with the
31's...it looks great! but! the lift is not needed to clear the 31's..I ran
31's on my Jeep while it was stock with only minor rubbing when fully
flexed...
I now run Interco (Super Swamper) TrXus MT's and they are a sweet all round
tire...they work wonders on rock and the ice and snow this winter didn't
bother me in the least...they have great street manners and are extremely
quiet on the road...

Re: new tires !!
Jason,
I did not have any lift on mine when I went to the 31's and the only problem
I had was with the tire rubbing at full turn on the bottom of the control
arms. I adjust the turn stop bolt and it did away with that problem.
