Default New tires for '96 f150 2x4 long bed

So this is my first time on and was wondering if yall had any suggestions about new tires for my '96 f150. Currently I have stock size and am looking to get bigger tires. I'm considering 31x10.5x15r but don't know how they will look on a stock 2x4 96' f150 long bed. Any suggestions would be nice. Thanks yall!

The front shocks are nearing need for replacement, I was gonna do that once my current tires wear out. My speedometer is actually off it reads I'm going 2-3mph faster than i actually am. I was looking at Wrangler Silent Armor, but I'm keeping my mind open for tires, only requirement is they have to be hard wall.

31 10.50s will fit and look great. Heck while your replacing the front shocks do a level kit and those 31s will sit with perfect wheel well gap.
