Absolutely. I have a 3" lift on semi-bald 31s. I didn't have any clearance problems, nor even traction problems on the loose dirt hills. Let us know how you do.

Well I dragged along my wife and two daughters out of the house today and we headed up to Hackett. My jeep did fine on just about all of the trail the only place I had a little bit of trouble was at the big rock right at the curve going up hill, I spun tires quite abit. I think this has a lot to do with the crappy tires I have. The trail is really fun but it stops all of the sudden with a big cable across the trail with a sign that says trail closed, so that kind of sucks but all in all the family and I had a great time up there today, next for me is some better tires and my d44 in the rear with ox lockers soon. Thanks for letting me know about this trail guys.

Hey, glad to hear you liked it. It's a really cool trail. When I 1st saw that big rock climb, I thought I'd have trouble, but my jeep did well. I was looking forward the to the water crossing, then I ran into the closed sign. Hopefully they open it up soon.

Any pics?
