My buddy has a set of the Destination MT's and has had really good luck with them so far...Something like 20k mile on them and still at like 70% tread left..

To drive around on the street, possibly. To off road, no. Like i said above, i tried and it didn't work up front. I have the same jeep, backspacing and wheel size, and 31" tires. I am now at 3" and still rubbed on the fenders when turning or backing up on a turn.

31" tires, 3.75" BS on 2.5" lift


See how close the tire is to the front part of the fender?


You can drive around and live with the tire rubbing on it but it'll get old after a while.

You actually want to keep them tucked in to prevent the rub on the fender. What lift do you have? Know anyone with 31" tires so you can test fit em?

edit: never mind, saw your signature. we both have the same lift, except i have 2" spacers too.

I have an Old Man EMU 2 in lift what if I put 1.5" coil spacers and shackles on with Bar Pin Eliminators would that work?

It would work alot better. Make sure you check out the brake lines in the back if you add more lift. I needed longer ones when i added the OME AAL. I picked up some YJ lines for $18. I'm also running bar pin eliminators from full traction too so i can keep the OME shocks. They add 2" of length to your shocks. $21 from www.4wd.com

autozone or local parts store. just ask for 1995 YJ rear brake lines, front ones too if you wish to do those. I just bent my hard line down some and it works.
