79 4x4 Tire Size

Does anyone have pics of a first gen no lift or on a 2-3 inch lift with 31s? I'm going for 33s in the future but I don't have the money for the tires and re-gear now.

Here is my 1980 long bed on the factory metric tires which are between 30" and 31" with a 2-3" OME lift.

Here it is with 33x12.5" on the same lift.

Here it is factory lift stock tires.

Here is my dads short bed factory lift on 31x10.5".

Here is my old long bed factory lift 32X10.5".

Here is my old long bed with factory lift and 33x12.5".

Having tried a few different tire sizes the 31x10.5 is the best for a daily driver with no lift you have good clearance and have good top speed and acceleration. The 32x10.3" were nice too a small power hit but did not rub on my truck under flex and I would go with if I were to do over. The 33x12.5" kill power and rub a ton under flex with factory lift they still rub a tiny bit with the 2-3" lift but only at full lock turn and full flex on the plastic inner fender.
