2 Inch Lift Kit(Shackles) w/shocks (I haven't decided on the brand yet) Can you'll give me some suggestions on this all of them seem about the same to me

American Racing Outlaw II Aluminum wheels 15x8 Can someone explain the backspacing on the wheels to me. The ones I'm looking at have a 3.75 backspacing.

A set of 30x9.50 BFG's All Terrain T/A K/O

Tell me what you'll think
Thanks for the help.

If you're just going to be doing a 2" lift, I would suggest doing a small Bastard Pack. For two inches you should use another Cherokee leaf spring and Grand Cherokee Coil Springs. Here is a link to a write up for it:

And Backspacing is the distance between the rear lip of the rim, and the mounting surface. So if you have less backspacing; your rim will stick out further. More backspacing; it'll tuck under the wheel well better.
I guess the standard around here is 4" of backspacing with an 8 inch rim, but I for one have always liked a little less.
