Default 31 x10.5 tires on a 2" lift

I'm putting the Rubicon Express 2" kit on with an AAL. They say you can run a 30" tire. I have stock factory alloy rims that I would mount these to. I want to put Duratracs on and they are a little under 31". What issues am I going to have?

I have a bb on mine and in getting ready to move up to 31s this summer only issue ive heard of is rubbing on the lca but im goings with different rims with more back spacing to avoid that. 31s is what most people run with bb's. I have 235s right now which is close to a 30 and have tons of room

I have 3.5" of lift with 31x10.5s on stock rims. They run on the lca at absolute full cut, but it's never bothered me. You might have to trim the front bumper, but other then that you should be fine

I have a 2 inch budget boost on my xj. With 31s. I only rub on my control arms at full lock. That's it. I do have aftermarket lower control arms. But other then that nothing special. Great everyday driver. Which is why I'm only at 2 inches.

You'll be fine. I ran 33's for a while on 1.5" of lift, didn't take much for them to fit. 31's fit it fine before the trimming at that height on the street, but I didn't have the 31's long.

Plan on bumpstopping , even if fenders are removed. Here is 4.5"-5" on 31"s.
