Default 1991 XJ Lift 2" or 3" lift?

My question is between a 2 inch lift and 30 x 9.5 or 3 inch lift and 31 x 10.5.
I don't want to cut the fenders if I don't have to, so I really don't know about the 3" and 31 x 10.5, I have heard you have to cut into the fenders with that size..
Can anyone verify this? or correct me if I am wrong please!


Also if anyone could steer me in the right direction of a less expensive but good quality 2" or maybe 3" lift...


Thanks for all the help!

Not sure why you'd even want a 2 inch lift, but no trimming is necessary. I have a 3 inch lift right now and 31 inch tires and there's no rubbing at all. Not even when I'm off roading. A 3 inch lift with 31 inch tires is a nice set up for those of us that don't go all out rock climbing, etc... Mine is perfect for getting to my favorite fishing hole or camp site without worrying about some tree stump taking out my exhaust or something.

go 3", no trimming necessary. You can get a cheap 3" spacer/shackle kit on ebay. Don't use blocks though, they are bad news.
