Stock isn't 31

And merely fitting and actual wheeling are two totally different things

he didn't say stock was 31", he was saying that if a 31" tire fits a stock truck that it follows a 33" should fit with a 2" lift.

I can only assume he is talking about the 245/75r16 that everyone is talking about.

some figuring (and I know each tire brand is different)

a 245/75/16 is roughly 30.5 inches.

the tires I have on mine are just shy of 30". I've only found the slightest of rubbing in the front, full lock. I've done some "wheeling" nothing extreme, and no rub.

but, to kind of answer the question, I wouldn't be comfortable putting 33 inchers on a truck with only a 2" suspension lift. I may be wrong. and if I am, I'm certain, someone on here will tell me.

I put 255/85 on my truck with 2.5" lift. Looks redickulous. But I couldn't get them to rub other than steering. Meanwhile 235/16 looks great on the same lift. I added 1" and it's now perfect with 255/85

I am quite seriously considering painting mine a very unique color.
