Default Question need input

I have a 99 xj. I researched an asked around to the biggest tire I could run on stock jeep and the answer I got was 235/75r15 so I put them on. Now even time I hit a bump in the road that's very big the rear tires rub mt fender skirts an I pull a trailer some an I knw its going to rub bad with a load on it. My question is what's the best cure for this put on a 2 in lift kit or put on a hd add a leaf. Any input is welcome thanks

My leaves are flat also. I noticed there are allot of options for replacement. Sort of in a pinch I stuck in $70 air shocks from Napa. Works...if I had that to do over I would go with air bags, or just deal with the springs. I guess with air bags you get normal shock action until you hit the overloads. Anyway I need springs.

Put an S10 leaf in your pack. It will lift it some and stiffen it up for carrying loads
