The tires are 245/70/16's. The rear springs are the Dorman HD replacements which ended up netting me a slight lift. The from is just 2" rubber spacers I got from some jeep in the yard. Not just stacked rubbers. Have the shackles to go with it but it's pretty much dead level and I love the way it sits. After all was put in place and set back down, I was quite surprised to see the track bar sit right back into pace.

looks like the perfect amount of lift I'm looking for. Any rubbing with 31's? Trimming?

No rubbing or trimming it was like this when I got it in the Rear it just has 2 inch blocks and in the front I don't know if it has 3 inch coil springs or 2 inch if they even make a 2 inch lift coil spring. It doesn't have any spacers. So I'm thinkin it has 3 inch springs becouse it sits realy level with the rear

Wow! john deer green.
Love your rig the way it sits. I wish it was mine. I now have the bug too. I am not sure I can keep up with the cost though. I bought mine already lifted and the guy I bought it from had put 33's on it way before it was ready for that size of tires. So I traded for 31's until I get it there. Good luck with your build!
