I bought a 2 inch lift from Fat Bobs. Springs and Shocks. I just also picked up some Rubi take offs and they have 255/70/17's. From everything I've read they'll fit fine.

I do like having the extra 2 inches but it makes my Jeep ride like a Jeep. Which I like. I don't really plan on going off road all that much. We here in N.E. Ohio get a buttload of snow and the increase in height for snow will help.

Remember your bolt pattern is 5 by 5.

Used car lot is putting it lightly.

I wish Jeep would bring back the Comanche. I love those old trucks. So very, very cool.
