Smile 31x10.5 on 2in lift

Hey all,

I've seen some 31's put on Jeeps on CF that have the same amount (and obviously more) lift than I do. I was wondering if I could put some onto mine without much or any modification. I'd be using the 16in limited rims and don't want to do any trimming. I heard I may have to adjust my bumpstops so I don't rub my fenders. Or should I start playing with different sized tire like 265/75/r16 and 265/70/r16? I currently don't do any serious off-roading, but I do like to have my fun now and then...

I have a 2 inch add-a-leafs and 2in spacers in the front. My current set up is in my sig below. Thanks

No need for a SYE at 2". If you bumpstop you shouldn't rub the fenders. Get backspaced rims and you won't rub control arms.

265 is approx 10.50 wide. And 265/75R16 is approx 32" tire, 265/70 is about 31" WJ lowers would get you to not rub the LCA's

Sadly, I want to keep my Limited wheels and can't/shouldn't drop money into new rims right now. How much do you think they'll rub with the rims I have? My 255/70/r16s only rub the LCA on full lock which I manage not to hit unless I'm slowly maneuvering.

Also, I'm only looking into a SYE because I'm getting driveline vibes from the AALs. I could live with it though or get a t-case drop (meh).

?
What are the "lowers" of a WJ you mention? Sorry for my ignorance. EDIT: WJ LCA's?
Would 32's fit or is that pushing it?
