HTH


as far as the 10.50-12.50 ? i assume your talking about tires, if so the onlly difference is you will have more tire touching the ground with the 12.50 so more traction
I have a 1999 Cherokee. I measured from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the fender on the back it was 9 3/4 on the front it is 9 1/2. This is way different that what you said stock is. Am i doing something wrong or what is the deal. I want to put a 30' tire on my Jeep so i was going to do the 2' lift. will the 30' tire fix with the 2' lift with the mesurement i have now?

Please don't type in all CAPS.

If you put in a 3" spacer, you got 3" of lift. Maybe 2.5" if you took out the stock isolator. There's no other possible outcome

Best advice ever no matter what you are working on. There is also learning how to string together as many curses as possible in one breath with out repeating any
