Thanks, this Cherokee is setting on 225/75/15s. My last had 235/70/15s I'll be shopping for some new tires this week and looking at some all season AT . Just sold a SUV on BFGoodrich Long Trail ATs. I got a lot of miles out of them, but thier a little noisy.

If you commute a lot, maybe consider sticking with a 235? Idk.. I'll totally throw my vote to the Wrangler DuraTrac tire. If you want an all season with some serious snow (and surprisingly good mud) traction, then these are tend tire. They do come in a 31x10.50 design, too.
I'd also suggest a 2" BB as well. If your leafs are in good shape, then maybe just an AAL or bastard pack, but my pref is the drop bracket.
Get some extended bump stops as well? Usually it's an inch of BS for every inch of lift..

I have 235/75/15 stock height with saggy leafs. Sometime when I go to flea markets to sell stuff I load that thing up and there is no rubbing. also I dont have any rubbing while turning at full lock. I have goodyear wrangler silent armor tires. They arent loud and get great traction in any terrain. They are technically a snow tire but good year says their life span is 60k miles. I have probably around 8k on them now and the tread bearly looks worn. They will run you about $150 a tire. I got mine on sale for $100 each.

I do believe I will be looking at 235s. Havent seen the wrangler Dura tracks but will look into them. I actually thought about putting this on the Cherokee Chat, but since I was looking for info and tire sizes and not talking about the weather I went with Tech. Thanks for everyones input.
