I am looking at some swampers for my 87. just wondering if they would fit....31x11.50. I have cranked the bars up front i am pretty sure I could get 32s on it but wanted to ask. By the way I am looking at the LTB. I will trim fenders if I have to so no big deal

Maybe, depends alot on your wheel choice. Dont think I'd run a 31x11.50 on a lil truck like a D50 tho.
I thot you were gonna body lift it here pretty soon?

Keep in mind the 31x11.50 LTBs are only really 10.9" wide. They are actually narrower than the 34x10.5s that measure to a true 11.2". You may have some rubbing issues, but if you are all ready running a 31x10.5 (which most 10.5s are 10.4 or right on) it shouldn't be a big issue. LTBs are a great deal for the tire. They have an awesome amount of traction, and look killer on any rig to boot.

if you have 31x10.50 now then you should be ok.just watch the back edge of the fender for rubbing.
