Thanks fellas, Yeah im gonna borrow a couple of clamps. The only way of getting my rusty leaf pack down is to cut the bolts. The only reason I went the AAL route in the first place.

I dont know if i am posting this in the right section. I am just trying to figure out if these new tires will fit my stock jeep wj without modification of if they require it, how much. I have a 99 Grand Cherokee with the stock 225/75/16s right now. I found a hell of a steal on some new tires with rims the only issue is they are 255/70/18. I just dont know if they will fit without rubbing and scrubbing or if I have to do any modification. I know the newer Wranglers come stock with the 255/70/18s. i am fairly new to the mechanical world of jeeps. I had an older xj before it died a horrible fiery death. Any help and advice is GREATLY appreciated. a confused college kid Jayson
Edit: granted I'm speakin of an XJ not a WJ

well unfortunately new spring packs would be like putting new lungs in a body with a bum heart. A really rusty bum heart. I think the frame will go before my springs. Thats what 700 bucks gets you

So I have my first Cherokee* and have a fairly straight forward question:
I am wondering if I can get by for 1-week with a stock Cherokee if I mount Goodyear Duratracs (265-75r16's) to the stock rims?
Fine print:
I have a Rusty's 3" lift at home and ready to go on, just need to wait for an opening in the garage to get it all installed. I realize that this is NOT a long term solution, I just need the vehicle for work and the combination of snow covered roads and high-mileage all season tires is...interesting at best and scary at worst. So I'm thinking I'd rather risk a little rubbing than have an accident. But, I dont want to tear my fenders to shreds either if I hit a bump. Commute is 40 miles of highway and then some paved secondary roads. In other words, nothing requiring any flex
*2000 Classic, with stock everything and weak, but not super-saggy, rear leafs.
Any thoughts?
TIA,
Stephen

My tire-guy mounted them up and gave it a test drive. They rubbed in the front pretty badly. So then he pulled the fender trim and that seemed like it might work if I took things pretty easy, but as soon as I had a passenger the rear started rubbing and there was nothing to do. Lift kit will go on today and that should make it all workable.
