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.

Yup, like it threw a shoe or something.

I'm wondering when the first time is going to be that someone pulls me over
