Default 2.5 inch lift with what tires

hey so i resently got an 2001 xj sport with a 2.5 inch lift. Im still rocking small tires and Im looking to size them up, im not looking to throw the biggest ones posible on so i can look cool driving on the road, I want a size that is practicle for off roading. Also if anyone else has a 2.5 lift post some pictures off the jeep and what size tires are on it

those are way below 50%, but for $250? Eh...sure. They'll get you through winter aight. Ask about if there's any dryrot or chunking though...and get the date code.

I think you're better off waiting and saving til you find a good set instead of throwing away ~$200 on crap.

Sounds good, but still check the DOT number. The last four digits are the year the tire was made and which week in that year it was made.

If your referring to 2.5" lift and 31s..youd be fine.. May need to shave a bit off of the bumper cap or where the flare wraps under the front bumper depending on what year your xj is.

Daystar shackles (last time I seen a pic) looked weak.

They'd probably work though.
