No, they'll actually lower it IIRC

1" lower. On an XJ. That goes for aftermarket TJ coils, too.

Why do people sell stock crap? Scrap it and call it good. There was a reason it was replaced.

Some people could be looking for a broken part or go back to stock. That's why people sell it

Your talking to a guy who has lifted many rigs. Stock **** ain't worth ****. There is a reason it's been sitting around your house forever.

X2. How many miles do these stock parts that ppl sell have. They sag or too bouncy. Go to rockauto.com and get aftermarket oe in that case. It's like using stock coils and leafs with extended shackles and pucks. It just doesn't work

I appreciate it man. I didnt understand why tirerack.com didnt have this tire available, when most others were. I've checked the reviews for most a/t's and m/t's. I really want to get the dunlop radial mud rover because my first jeep, an 87' yj, had these tires on them when I purchased it. Even bald, they did awesome for my first wheeling experiences. Either way, going to the tire shop tomorrow after installing a lift to see which is cheaper, the duratracs or the rovers. Il let you know. Thanks again.
Tirerack doesn't offer these tires b/c Goodyear makes them in the 31" size for walmart only. Wallyworld wanted to carry a larger sizes tire vs. just passenger car and truck tires. (That's what I was told) I have these Goodyear authority tires and love them. They are the best tire I have put on my jeep yet. They sling mug chunks the size of my children's fists, they are great in the rain and snow....but more importantly they do not have a terrible 'sing' to them as you drive 90mph. IMO these tires are the best value you can find for less than $150 a tire.

Sorry thought you were in Ontario for some reason, guess not lol. MTO = Ministry of Transportation Ontario. 91-95 are the same bunch. Older styling, no air bags, smaller front axle U-joints. Otherwise the same.
