What kind of beer? And how much is needed? Is this a craft beer kind of job? Or will Budweiser be okay? I might reach the fender cutting, big tires someday. For now I'm gonna wear the tread off these 31's.

No. Just beat it in and flat with a mini sledge. Then a smaller hammer to even it out if you like. No cutting needed. It seems like it won't bend at the corners but it will.

I keep the Jeep at my dad's house so can't give you pics now. I'll try to remember the next time I go over there.

How much lift would I get out of v8 ZJ coils and are They direct fit? I'm on the fence between them and coil spacers. also I need a comparable lift in the back and I'm sagging about an inch. I haven't heard very good things about AAL how about new leaf packs in the back? And anything I should replace while I'm there?

About 1" from V8 ZJ. Direct fit. If you do full packs, you should replace U-bolts, and you may need to replace your stock shackle (if it's in really bad shape) and the leaf spring bolts (6 total; stealership part).

Under 2" you don't have to worry about shocks, brake lines, etc.

So I went with the 33x1250 mtrs. Would i be able to put them on now with my 2" lift and bushwackers without any major rubbing or anything or should I wait for my 4.5" lift to come in before I put them on?

I would wait, even if they fit I bet they will rub really bad and you can't flex worth anything.

Andy when you see this in the morning (or anyone else), what is the size and exact info crap on those leaf spring bolts? I know it's like M14 nipple flange blah blah blah and I can never find it or save it lol

I'm pretty sure lr2 knows the specs by heart, he always answers this question.
