Are you trying to avoid using a lift? If not, compare the price of those bushwackers to a lift before you go drop the money on them. You may be suprised at how much those flares run.

A 2 or 3 inch lift barely goes beyond stock suspension. Won't hurt your ride quality. What's your objection out of curiosity?

A 3 inch would effect ride but a 2 inch spacer and shackle kit wouldn't hurt and if anything the better shackle angle may improve it, you wont even need new shocks

It's the idea.... the idea will always be redneck even if well executed.:-) nothing wrong with redneck. Im a country boy and have some redneck in me... most of my friends were redneck through and through growing up though.

You need to make up your mind ya the sport didn't come with a lift it also didn't come with any tire bigger than a 225 if you want it stock keep it stock why in the world would you be ok with cut out flares and not lift? You can remove a lift and return it to stock you can't un cut your fenders if you want big tires you have to make changes to the vehicle if you don't wanna change it go to a 30 and learn to live with a little rubbing

dude i would just get some aggresive 30 inch tires idk how things work in your state.

But here if you install tires that are more then 2 sizes bigger then stock they can fail you or if u have more then i beilve 2 inch difference on the rear then on the front.

Say u had put on 2 smaller tires in the front which im not saying anyone would do without manual hubs but u never know so be carefull and they sometimes do fail a person for having cut flares.

Make sure whatever u do you will still get a sticker. whats funny is im not required to have a bumper on a pickup truck so go figure. A guy told me he had 31s on a stock cherokee i never got ballsy enough to spend hundreds on tires that might not work good.

i picked up 2 265.75.r15 for free off the side of the road they were made by general barely had enough tread to pass and were just summer looking radials My dad measured and they werent right for the truck.

Maybe if u installed brand new leaf springs and shocks and coil springs and spaced wheels just barely would those tires i found not rub. The cheapest thing u can try is put new shocks in just saying lol.

Keep in mind every tire is different some are measured differently some tires are a half an inch different not just tall but wide compared to 30's one tire kind could be 1/2 inch wider in 31 then a 30 and still be the same height tall or the other way around 1/2 inch taller and same width as a 30. Everyone whos telling you on here they can run a 31 they dont seem to mention which tire?? same with the guy who told me i never cought what tire he managed to get not to rub dident say
