i think its a 31 don't rub.
i found out the other night that my 30s rub on the passenger side fully turned left. it rubs on that flap for the engine compartment cover that isn't on the driver side, that used to be.

I'll think about it. One day I'm thinkib I'll get the 32s, the next, I'm like, well ill just stay with a 31. We'll see. I'm also lookin at cost too. I'm lookin at wear and tear faster, I'm already payin a crapload for the tires (BFGs) then 32s add the price of an algnment bc ill have to crank T-bars, then it also adds the cost of having the stealership reprogramming my speedo unless someone local wants to put their programmer on it to change tire size in computer or whatever you have to do. All of this on top of what I have to save for wedding. The finace will have my hide...lol If I go 32s, I have to do nothing and they still look great.

Yeah his truck was BA with em on there. I know they "look" BA, its just cost wise crap associarted with all the stuff you have to do to have them. Ya know if God had blessed me with more money instead of all these good looks, I'd be alright..Haha, j/k. Well I have about a month or two to think about it. We'll have to see

31" to 32" will reduce clearance EVERYWHERE, from the tread outwards (away from the hub) by 1/2 inch, that is not much... you shouldn't have problems with that, unless you are hardcore flexing
where you MAY run into trouble is if you go wider... you haven't mentioned width measurements at all... the sway bar SHOULDN'T be effected if you only go taller, not wider, unless your sway bar is in the way of the tire (tread outwards)
on the other hand though, these trucks SHOULD be able to run tire chains (for icy conditions) with no clearance issues, and they are about 1/2 inch, not only would the half inch take up the top and the bottom, but it would make a tire that is 31x10.5 (for example) act like a 32x11.5. as the chain wraps around the sidewall AND the tread...
i wouldn't think that you would be that close to rubbing... you should have atleast an inch, at the smallest point, lock to lock... but i am just basing this on opinion, not knowledge of the ranger...

if not, are you going for functionality or asthetics? asthetics, it would be height more than width, although skinny tires are UGLY, wide meas POWER!!!!! :D
functionality, depends on what you are doing, muddy trails with deep ruts, you want the height... deep gravel or deep sand, you want wide snow that isless than 1 foot, and of moderate consistancy, you want skinny tall tires (to cut through the snow, rather than float on top of it)
