I have these spacers in 2-1/4" and have no complaints. They're solid but still give a decent ride up front. I like them

searches around and couldn't really find a solid answer so sorry if this has already been answered,
but I've been looking at buying some General Grabber AT2 tires.
Are they good durable tires or just junk?
i am looking for a good tire in snow and will last long.
thanks

Default 4.5 inch

So I am getting everything planed out for my jeep I am buying from a family member. Its a 93 with the 4.0L inline 6 with the 8.25 rear. So my question is what 4.5 inch lift is best. I was liking the RE but now they aren't in business for now. I always liked Rusty's as a company but doing a little research, they have very mixed reviews. So which 4.5 lift is best with flex, quality, warranty service and anything else? Thank You very much for the help

So what would the experts here need to help me figure out how high my lift is. I bought my jeep already lifted, and cant see anything telling me what kind it is(nothing underneath labeled with a brand name). There are spacer is the front springs, that look to be 1.5 inches, hard to get under with all the snow right now, and spacers in the back between the frame and leaf springs, and it looks like leafs have been added as well. I can get pictures it that will help figure it out.

Got a 2001 XJ, bone stock on the exterior. Wanting to get rid of the OEM rims with the chrome hubcaps and either get real chromes or black rims. I don't know all the info. Someone give me the size info for the rims of a stock (no lift) 2001 XJ?
