what do you guys think.

ok my 95 toyota truck has 31x10.5 bridgestone duller tires on it.
i have had my truck for 6 mo and,sad to say,have never really went under it to look around.
do you think my truck has any sort of lift at all or would these tires fit under a stock truck?
there seems to be plenty of room for body clearance.
its a reg cab 22re and manual trans. if that helps or is needed.

another question is....if i went with a smaller but still capable 4x4 tire what would i see in the way of gas milelage increses? thanks.

31's will fit your truck without a lift. I don't see any worthwhile benefit in switching to smaller tires.

so you guys dont think a smaller tire would increse mileage?
what size would have came stock on my truck?
i dont mind them at all but after driving my 95 toyota 4 cyl and my 95 ford mustang gt vert v8 from calif to mn in my recent move.....and the cost to drive both all that way was nearly identical. about 168.00 in gas for both. i think that i could improve the mileage of my 4banger?
both were loaded up with loaded up pretty good with my stuff but the truck really struggled in the rockys.
i would have thought the truck would get alot better mileage then my 126,000 mile stang?

You might want to look on the inside driver's door to see your vehicle info tag (either on the door itself or where the door closes). It should tell you the original size tires. I know mine came stock with 225 75 R 15s. I have 235s on now (MT/R) and I still get about 20 mpg. You might get better mileage, unless it was regeared (?).
