4.75" is stock
with 4" and lower you might run into rubbing issues

Without a body lift and no body mods and that backspacing, 31's would be about as tall as you could go without rubbing.

I'm a tad confused, though. Your avatar shows the truck with different rims than those stock 6in'ers. What gives?

ok well for those that seem to be comfused..... the avitar is not mine. good looking truck though. the pics are the ones of my truck. the question is not if 31" tires can fit, its the back spacing and if the wide tires can clear

You might be able to pull it off.
Valance might have to go or just be trimmed, but im more worried about the front fenders.

In that case, I don't think you will have any problems other than the valance...which is of course easily removed. Mine is for the time being.
