yeah those wheels will be fine...but the difference in a 2" lift is not that much less than a 3" and with a two inch people wont notice your jeep is lifted.

needs to be LESS that 4.5" of backspacing with 31's or you'll rub lower control arms when you turn full lock. Alot of us are running 4" of backspacing.
