31s on a 95 4x4, just like the others, no rubbing.
I have Cooper Discoverers on there now, and they are OK, but I'm a BFG fan. I've had BFG A/Ts on 2 Jeeps, one other F150 and three Toyotas. When these go bye bye I will replace them with BFGs for sure, but they are practically new so it may be a while. The Coopers do OK, and they are cheaper and a hair quieter, but the longevity and snow performance aren't quite what the BFGs are.
I had Maxxis Bighorns on my Jeep and I can't recommend them ... but the Goodyear Wrangler MTRs are a good tire too. Dunno if you're still considering rubber options but that's all I got, lol.

To all you people w/ 87-91 year trucks:
The front ends are different. That year range has a more open wheel well, and will allow for a 33x12.5 on stock rims w/ no rubbing. The truck in question is a 96, different bumper and different wheel openings. Your trucks do not apply to this situation.

Try taking in your rims and just having the tires mounted and balanced... If they don't know what they are going on, THEY WON'T CARE!
Me personally... I am probably going to drop the coin on some 33in MT Baja MTZ's the next time I need rubber.
