I have a kargomaster roof rack attached to the raingutters and it kind of overpowers the roof. I have 235/75 on aftermarket wheels with decent backspacing. Sidwall is even with the fenders. Anyways.. the roof racks look great on cherokees with a lift. Is 2in and 30x9.50's going to give me that good looking stance or do I need to go big? Thanks in advance for the help.

 

Go a little bigger.Mines 3" and 31x10.50s with a basket,I wish it was 4.5.Your gonna get inchitis anyway and want more lift and more lift and more lift and more lift ,,,you get the idea.I think 3''s is a good looking stance

 

3 inch isnt really big... haha. but i would go 3 if i were you or you will regret it later.

 

Nope 3''s isnt big but its bigger than stock,we get it you got inchitis too,yes your jeep lift is bigger yay! when I said bigger I meant bigger than 2''

 

Well after the lift settles, the 3 inch that you originally had will turn into a 2.75 or 2.5 inch lift. If you buy the 2 incher, you're going to look like you have almost no lift by the time it settles. So if you don't go and do the 3inch with 31's, you're wasting your money in my opinion.

 

X2 lot of work for little gain,mine is settled and retained the 3'' i guess because its a bastard pack its a little stiff but I think it was about 3.5 in the rear when I first did it

 

my rc 3" with aal has been on for 5 months. I would consider it settled. 2.5" in back, 3" in front, getting a 2" bb tomorrow.

 

my rack overpowers the tires as well. im doing a 2in OME lift. with 30x9.5

 

^^get somne type of beafyier tires. and yours will look 10x better.

 

I was thinking of doing a bastard pack on mine because my rear leafs are sagging 2 inches+ lower than the front coils. It looks like Rosie O'Donnell is sitting in my trunk or something!

I know this is off topic but I'm taking a trip to the salvage yard soon and was wondering what should I get to lift my XJ 3 inches or so using salvaged parts.
Also what setup are you running? What are your leafs from? PM me if you'd like! I could really use the information!

 

Yes,I agree..first in january this year I did a 2" lift with spacers in front and shackels rear,had 30x9.5" A/T`s.Next step was in march,still going with spacers and shackels,but changed to zj coils in front and OME 2" leaf`s,this combo gave me about 3" lift.Then I could go with 31x10.5" M/T`s.At this moment I was done with lift and wheels..until I startet to read this forum and a couple others here in Norway.Now I have done a 6" lift with a full set from Trailmaster(4.5"+spacers),now I have 33x12.5" M/T....so go for a 3" lift,you always want more

 

go with 3, its great. then youll hate the 3 inch later and itll force you to get a 5.5 inch long arm and 35s lol


heres a 3 inch with 31s

 

To me, the stance is dictated by the width of the tires as much as anything as well. I feel that 9.5 tires don't really do anything to improve stance, but here we are talking about something subjective. You will be the one driving it, and being seen in it, so do what looks good to you. I have a 3" Rusty's spring pack and 31x10.5. I personally like the stance it has. Also consider the backspacing that your rims have. I'm not sure how many people run wheel spacers but 1" or 1.5" spacers can change the stance considerably.

 

30x9.50 with a 3.75 backspacing. Tires stick out about 1" past the flares (legal in TX).

 

i built my own fairing and my own rack. they blend very well. i ran led lights on the fairing. and four floods across the front. to me its not over powering and looks super sharp. might try a larger fairing
