31s look silly. 33x10.5, 33x12.5, 275/70, 275/75 are all around 33 inchs. the diff is the wheel size they come in.

yea i also have 31"s on my stock height truck.
and theres still alot of room. i think i've even seen stock trucks
w/ 33"s on them but they would def rub. but w/ your lifted
truck you should be fine. i found these in a durango section might help ya.

with the lift there is plenty of room for 33s, hell ive seen some guys put 35s on with a 3inch body.

also if your truck is 4x4 you can crank the torsion bars(or torsion keys) and add blocks in the back for another 1 or 2 inches.

I have 33"s on my stock height 03 3.9L. They rub a little and make some noise when I turn corners but not enough to notice a decrease in the turning radius. Im looking to lift my truck a few inches and I would def suggest going with 33" tires. 31"s just look too small with a lift.
