To each his own when it comes to building up a jeep but to be brutally honest brother, you're gonna get a horrible horrible ride from those on a solid axle unibody vehicle. Second well idk not a big fan on big rims, little rubber on a Cherokee. Third max stock height is 30" give or take. You already used 19 of those on the rim so someone correct me of I'm wrong you only have 11" for tire and that's about 5.5" on all side
