Default tire size?

I have a set of 285-75-R16 tire like new and was wondering if that was the same as a 33 0r 32?

And how much lift and what back spacing i need for 1991 cherokee?

The stock jeep isn't getting it!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for any replies.

med standard or heavy duty is for the weight they can handle. the inches usually indicate the amount of lift they offer

You might want to consider changing both sets of rear springs so that they'll match..
No point in going down the road leaning to one side.
HTH!

it will raise your rear end only if its sagging. http://www.quadratec.com/products/56010_10.htm
I just bought these off a guy from craigslist in a package deal. get both sides and you will need to buy the bushing for them. while your doing this you may want to change your rear shocks. But thats all on you.

are you going to lift the jeep any time soon if so you can get some procomps that have a 2.5 or 3.5 inch lift in the back for about 100 a piece or stocks for about 60 a piece from 4wheelparts.com

haha jugbutt was totally hijacking your thread!!! get his posts out of here! I've been wondering the same thing about how to actually find out how much lift a leaf will offer, if it is not already said.
