Adding 18" wheels to 2000xj
I am new to all this but enjoying my new to me 2000 XJ. I just picked up a nice used Meyers plow setup cheap thanks to the light winter.
Next mod is I picked up a set of five 18" Rubicon wheels with Bridgestone Dueler AT 255 /70/18's. I know I need the spacer kit for them but what size lift do I need ? Anyone have any pics of theirs with this combo ? what brand kit for a mainly road driven rig ?
Thank

That is approx 32" tall tire. Min of 3" lift and you will definitely need to bumpstop/trim, run aftermarket LCA's. About 4.5" would be good. I would go with OME/DPGOffroad hybrid lift at a minimum.
*NOTE - This should be in cherokee tech, not grand.
