You're rubbing at bumps at stuff, or just at full lock?

1.5" MAY be enough, but just to be sure I would go for 2". The cheapest way to do that would be 2" spacers in the front, and then the $40 shackle kit for the rear (theres a 6-7 page topic on it).

I'm imagining you're rubbing on bumps then, not on any drive components of your XJ? Running 30x9.50R15 on the factory 5-star rims and I don't rub at full lock.

Not to sound stupid but kinda new to the jeep thing. What do you mean full lock? they test fit the rims/tires and when they turned the wheel half way they were rubbing. the inside of the fender.
