Default Jeep newb gettin geared up!

Hey fellow jeepers!(been waitin to say that!) I just picked up a 95 grand laredo. Lots of miles, but super clean! & only 40k on the rebuilt motor. Has a couple bugs, but i can figure those out(i think). My question is this-what tire's gonna fit on this thing with minimal hassle? Already have a set of 15x8 steelies. Scored'em for 25$, cuz they were white, scratched & beat. Stripped'em, primed, then painted(satin black)-look good as new! I'm runnin the stock rims/tires now. Lots of tread left (shame). I was thinkin a cheap 2" lift & 31's? Stock looks too low for even 30's. This thing aint hittin the rubicon anytime soon. Light trail/camping duty, with an occasional forray into some wacky stuff. Thanks for any replies! Pleezed to meet you folks!

Welcome to CF, Jado! I'm sure you'll get a lot of advise and suggestions from the guys here. Check out "Post your lifted ZJ/WJ" and you may get a little more info on what you want to do with it. It depends on what you plan to do with it and your wallet. The options are endless.

JEEP. there is nothing like it.

Yeah, I think 31X10.5s will make it look knarly and that front bumper is just plastic and stryofoam, easy to trim. The 2" lift is easy with spring spacers.
