Put it on! I love lifted trucks with small tires. Just my opinion.

Wait. If you had 33's id say you could get away with it but 31's with 6" lift would look silly

My buddy Bubba J runs 35s for off road and whatevers free for daily driving, and he's running about 9" of lift. I say put on the kit, and get the alignment sorted out then buy new tires.

Alignments will be different based on tire size/width...
