2 questions:
1. What height lift is required to run a 265/75r16 tires? What is the minimum lift or recommended lift for this size?
2. This is probably a stupid question, but: A lift kit typically lifts a half inch lower in the rear to level out the vehicle, right? So a lift is 4 in in front and 3.5 in back?
ok thanks!

alright, thanks dude. i did the tire size conversion on miata tire size calculator, and i thought it would be close enough to 31" to not matter but I guess not. whoever said to not bother with a 3" lift cuz you'll want to go bigger later was right (everyone).

Need Help Please
I just installed a Rough Country 3 inch Lift on my 92 Cherokee Sport. At 30 MPH, I get a bad vibration and a bad clicking noise when I mash the brakes. I replaced both U-joints and it didn't help. I checked inside the brake drums and they look fine also. The vibration goes away after 35 MPH. I ran it with 225/75/15 tires on it to go to the tire store to buy my bigger 31/10.50/15 tires. Could the smaller tires have anything to do with it? Any suggestions would really be appreciated!

Forgive me for not searching through all 366 pages (I looked through about 50), but does anyone have real world experience with the RC 4.5" lift on a 97+? I'm looking to fit 32x11.50x15's, don't mind trimming a little, but would really like to stay away from the SYE if I can. I'd be going with a full pack kit with the TC drop. Is that TC drop enough to keep from needing the SYE for now?
Also, trying to decide between the RE 3.5" kit and the RC 4.5" kit. From what I've seen in pictures, they both seem to have about the same lift. Seems that people prefer RE's quality over RC's, but RE does not include a TC drop which worries me. Any advice between those two kits? I'm just starting my wheeling adventures, so nothing crazy technical at this point... I just want a taller lift and don't want to have to do things over again later down the road.
Any advice would be great... specifically on that SYE issue.

Question I have a 2" lift and thinking about going with another AAL to make it 3" POSSIBLY.
I am on stock shocks but want new ones and was thinking of doing this deal.

This does not say for lifted applications, but will these work for 2-3" applications.
