Default 2" lift, 30" tires

I just recently put a 2" lift on my XJ and am planning on getting 30" tires for it. PLEASE post some pics if you have this setup so I can get a glimpse of what it might look like??

Old man emu 2.5" heavy duty lift. 30x9.5x15 falken rocky mountain all terrains. I do wish I would have went with 31s. I didn't need a transfer case drop either. Pic one is regular everyday, pic two is fully weighted down, pic three is no weight except seats and the body. I love the lift and the tires, but again i wish I would have bought 31s when I did. Good luck.

Bamf, that's a sweet looking chop. Also, might want to check out your E-brake cable.

You shouldn't have to with 30' s. I had a 96 xj with 30 ' s and no lift and didn't rub ,just wasn't able to turn real Sharp they would rub lower arm

Look to get a full pack, gives you a good base for later when you want to go higher. 4 years and no noticeble sag OME FTW!!!
