Yeah I'm probably gonna go with 31" by 12.50's Swamper LTB's! I think I'll be ok...lol! I'm actually pulling my dad's lowering shackles off his sliverado and adding them to my XJ so once I find out how much lift I get from that I'll order some blocks to clear the 31's with no problem. That's about all I'll be able to do for now.

Actually thought about that but then I'd have to get a set of spare wheels too cuz I couldn't drive it daily with those ags

dude let me just say that gettin that rear bumper off without removing the hitch was NOT FUN!!!!!!!! but other than that it's going good. i think my dad's sander is fried cuz i just tried it and nothing so i may have to go pick up another one. i still have to set up my "paint booth" then i'll be ready to prime so hopefully i'll be spraying the primer thursday then water sand it and spray green on the 20th. i want it to be ready for the show and shine on the 25th! you going?
