31" or 32" T/A KO's for my 2000 3.0L ranger?
decided to go with BFG All-Terrain T/A KO

with only a $15 difference, is there a noticable performance difference between these 2 sizes of tires?

If it's a 2WD coil-sprung, go with 30's.

If it's the 2WD Trail-Head, go with the 32's.

Dude, I think you are fine either way. I am running 31's on my 2wd and they are fine but I need to regear because I have the 2.5L. What gears do you have now?

The only thing I do not know if 32's will clear or not at stock height. Hopefully someone will chime in on wether or not they will fit. I know for sure 31's will fit 2wd stock.

Is this for your 2000 dude? I have had my tires at full lock on 31's before I lifted it and they do not rub.

probably depends on the wheel backspacing. I'm putting these on cragar soft-8s (4" backspacing)
