Tire Questions
I just bought an 05' Jeep Grand Cherokee and was wondering the biggest tire size i can fit without lifting it. Also if anyone knows who makes a lift for it that'd be great to. I'm interested in all types of lifts. I was just about to do a shackle/tt lift combined with a body lift on my truck before i totalled it. anything will help

I wouldn't go any more than 245/75R16 (or about 30.5" overall Diameter) on a Stock 99-04 Grand...Even with that you might run into a little bit of rubbing here and there...Best bet is to go to your tire shop, and have them put on a tire you like (Since each tire is slightly different in O.D. from manufacturer to manufacturer) and check the clearance with a jack or hoist with the suspension flexed a little.
As for lifts...there are a ton...how much lift are you looking for, how much $$$$ are you willing to spend, what is your Jeep going to be used for (How will you be driving it)...
Hard to suggest a lift without knowing those things...
Later.

Lifts
As far as lifts go, i'd like try to keep it on the cheaper side. I'm not going to be doin anything to intense as far as off roading goes. i really would just like to throw some bigger tires under there and give my jeep a more aggressive look. I found a kit that seems suitable for my needs.

Installation shouldn't be to bad for this either. Let me know what you think.

Not sure about a WK but on a WJ 245/65R17 will rub slightly when turning and those are like 29.5" diameter if you do not have a lift.
