I would like to get this all done the first time correctly.

thanks alot.

1.75 inch budget boost from daystar should get you into the 30.5's that were on the Rubicon 245/75R16....

(holy cow we agreed on something)
I know low COG is best but are there any serious stability issues with about 5" of lift? It would almost be preventative because i plan on heavier duty front and rear bumpers and I dont want to get sag from my ALL that will effect tire clearence. BTW i already trimed fenders to fit tires, i'd just like the height to ensure no rubbing will occur in the for seeable future.

is your rig bump stoped correctly? shouldnt happen if you have the correct length bump stops

There are heavy duty coils and leafs made for things like heavy front bumpers. Im pretty sure they would be really stiff but some company's claim they can hold up those super huge bumpers

You may have trimmed your fenders, but I promise you there is always more room to trim...until you get into buggy territory and the whole back and front ends are cut to pieces. If KTM Racer can fit 37s on 2.5" of lift, I think you can fit. Another thing to note...if you have an AAL, ditch it and get full leaf packs with or without HD bumpers it will sag eventually. If the front sags from a bumper then buy either an ACOS or the poly spacers, either would fix the problem.

agreed. definitely one of the most overlooked parts of lifting a Jeep.

Thats a pretty big tire. I assume you have some serious axles on there right?

Default 8.5 Rustys off road long arm kit
so i got my 90 cherokee and i ordered the 8.5 rustys offroad long arm kit and a set of teraflex shakles and 2.5" lift blocks for the rear (since the leaf springs that come with the kit are only 6.5 and the teraflex shackles dont add any lift i was forced to go with 2.5 blocks to match the 9inch front coils) but all the explaining aside i was wondering if i could get some input on a good size tire to run.... i see alot of people running 37s but are they really getting all the flex they can with that big of a tire or would you bennifit more from a 33 or a 35? thanks for your input in advance
