Here is a link to the same thread I started. I ended up getting BFG 30's on my stock 2003 2wd xlt.

I have 3.55 gears, and with my 4.0 I have a very small power loss, but not much.

I still have to be careful not to give too much gas cause from a stop up to 3000rpm I will break the tires traction with the road.

Also with my 3.55 gears, my last road trip got me 22.7 MPG!!!! Cruise at 66mph all the way.

I say get them, no rubbing at all. And they look great.

Hopefully they look good with a 3 inch spindle lift now.

Btw i have centercaps now haha.

i have a 1999 xlt 2wd with 31x10.50s on it...only rubs at full crank at full flex. I know for sure if you get the Alcoa bullet holes you will have to dremmel out the center caps a little bit to clear the dust caps

i got 30 on my 93 ranger

I know this is a really old thread but do you have any pictures of the 31s on your truck? I am assuming its stock height based on what you have said. I am trying to find out if I can fit 31s. After researching quite a bit, there seems to be a lot of mixed opinions on whether or not 31s will fit on a stock 99 2wd xlt.
