If you get a 13.5" tire you will need 10" wide rims too.

Anyone have advice on how long my bump stops should be up front for a 4.5 in lift? New bump stops I got are 5in. The stock ones were 5in. Trying to figure this before installing cools today. I have an 01 xj. Thanks.

That depends on about 15 different things. You're just going to have to measure.

Thanks for the advice
Just got that zj rod in from rockauto its pretty bad *** but I forgot to get an adjusting sleeve , would the stock one work?
Also my 3 inch lift didnt come with stabilizer bar spacers or brake hose extensions do I need to get those before I do the lift?

I should have added the 2" lift will be for a pavement pounder. Pretty much for looks. 99% of the time it will be road driven with an occasional drive in the fields.

The zj one is different from the xj one, but yes a stock adjusting sleeve will work fine.

Depends on your axle gear ratio.

Theres an app for that. Thats usually pretty close +-1 or 2mph. Even tracks as a odo when its activated.
