31" tyres on a Gen 4

31" tyres on a Gen 4 was created by saxj
I've had 235/75R15's on for around 100000Km now, and it's time to change tyres.
I'm considering 31" tyres.

I have reduction gears in the t-case, so gearing is not an issue.
I have a 50mm lift, front radial arms are 15mm longer and aftermarket bumpers that give plenty of clearance for bigger tyres.
Besides possibly extending bump stops, is there anything else I need to consider?
Has anyone experienced driveline breakages with 31" tyres?

235's.... 235/85R16? Or do you mean a 15" size?

JimnyBits have 31.10.50R15's on their website:

But that is on a 4" lift, so it runs extended bump stops to prevent the wheel moving up as far into the arch, along with longer shocks to give more total droop and travel.

I guess rim offset will also play a factor on how close or if they rub anything under steering or flex.

Interesting to see how you get on.

The current tyres are 235/75R15's. I intend running the new tyres on the stock rims.
