Those will work wonderfully on stock wheels, especially with a 3" lift. You may need to adjust your steering stops if they rub on your Lower Control Arms (LCAs) when your steering wheel is at full lock. That's a very simple procedure, though.
Oh, and good choice with the tires

I have the exact same thing. Rc series 2 w/ aal's (not sagging after a year btw), stock rims, and 31x10.50 goodyear work horse xg's (the tires duratracs replaced). They rub a lil at full lock, but nothin worth writing home over.
I have a 97 Cherokee that is stock with 30s. I want to put a lift on it. My lead springs are worn out and bent the wrong way. Which lift kit do you recommend? I am debating between a 2, 3, 3.5 inch lift? What are the pros and cons? I am going to get 31 inch tires.

I'd recommend 3"-3.5" lift with 31s. It's the most common combination because it looks good and it works offroad. I'm a big fan of Rubicon Express springs, but they're pricey. You'll get a lot of different opinions about which company to go with, so I suggest reading reviews and considering each person's opinion. The most important thing is to buy full leaf packs. Do not buy a lift kit with an Add-A-Leaf (AAL).

X2 my buddy runs a 3" RC series II with 31's on soft 8's with a 4" bs and there is zero rubbing except on the end caps for the front bumper. And that's very minimal

If you have it bumpstopped like crazy but then whats the point of having a lift that has no up travel. Stock wheels tuck up into the wheel well like they should but anything else will take off take off the fender flares. For the OP just call up Dirk up at DPG Offroad and he'll tell you the same thing. Unless you want to trim then stick with stock wheels.
