pics of your 55 with 31 x 10.50's?

Can any Pig owner out there post pics of their Pig with 31 x 10.50's?

I've been thinking about stepping down from my 33 x 9.50's to make my truck a LITTLE more liveable on the street, which is where it's mostly driven. I remember when I put the 33's on many years ago (but sadly not many miles ago!) how doggy the rig suddenly became (like it wasn't doggy before!), but that was in the flat Phoenix, Arizona valley. Now in CT, it's hilly everywhere, and starting from a 4-way stop on a hilly 2-lane rd, I can back traffic up forever trying to torque up hills. 31's won't help MUCH, but they will help a little.

Plus, I've found my 33's are impossible to balance (maybe that's why I got them so cheap), I've hads them to several tire shops with no real success.

If I like the looks of the 31's I may go for it.
