Default Lift and 31s?

I'm going to get a 3" suspension lift on my 4x4 soon and if I don't get bigger tires right away will it look weird having 31x10.50 tires and a lift or will if be fine?

It'll look fine. Mine has 31" with a body lift and slight torsion crank.

Pics everywhere on this forum. Search "Before and AFter" thread.

Which 3" suspension lift are you planning to get? Other than new torsion bar keys, there aren't many options (any options?) for 3" suspension lifts, and 3" is about 1" more than you should reasonably expect from torsion bar adjustment.

Yea it's the torsion keys and 1.5" blocks. I've talked to people who have it and they said it gives about 2.5" from the keys

I currently have New keys and 2" blocks in the back with 265/75-16s (31.65x10.45) and it looks fine.

i have been running 265/75/16's for several years now. no lift on the truck, except a turn or two on the T bars. rubs on the front of the fender well only when turning while backing up.
