Do they look too small? Post up some pics if you have a pml with only 31's please.

Thanks!

They don't look too small. But after you put the PML on you'll want to put a 2"BL ( I promise) so just save the time and go with 32's

Or if you go the BL route, then might as well go 33s.

PML with 31's:





PML + BL, with 31's:

Thanks for the replies guys! Yeah, it doesn't look that bad at all.... though I know I'll just want to go bigger soon.

Thats the problem. I did mine a couple of weeks ago and I was impressed with how it came out. Now I want 2" of BL to squeeze 33"s on there. Friggin' X's sucked my wallet dry.

just wait you have not even begun to have your wallet sucked dry. I had to find me a sugarmama to fun my addiction.....

Where do I get one, maybe you can hook me up? I've spent more money on my X than my ex. Much more. Maybe that's why she's my ex?

they look great!

He has 31x11.5's, not std 31x10.5's...so they fill the wells better.

The PML doesn't increase the max tire size you can run...a stock 2004 or older X can fit 32's w/o any lift at all.

You do not NEED a BL until you want to run 33's.

The PML increases your ride height/ground clearance of the frame...but only larger tires can also increase your TOTAL ground clearance, by also lifting the axles/diffs, etc...which of course lifts the ENTIRE truck.



So the PML is a no brainer for most...but the BL is what makes your tires fit, and gets you the most ground clearance potential, by allowing larger tires...even though the BL all by itself doesn't increase your grround clearance.

(The BL does improve your approach/departure angles though....as it gets those pesky plastic parts up higher out of the way, etc...)

Thats what I did I'm sure many others have also.
I put 31's on my X first because thats what everybody was running...lol. Then 32's got popular....I'm running 33's and some have made the step to 35's! I think the 2" BL + pml and 33's are the best bet.

I remember my wife shaking her head when I bought my 3rd set of tires in 2 years :rolleyes:
