This is the EXACT setup I want a 3"lift with 31inch BFG AT KO's (those are the tires, right?)

How many of you guys experience rubbing with a 3'' lift and 31's?
And if you didnt, is it because you installed wheels with different ofset/backspacing, and if so/or so not what trimming if any did you do?
Yeah wording is a little screwy.

Yeah those are 31x10.50 BFG A/T KO's. I have owned 2 sets of these tires in 2 different sizes. They live up to their rep. - capable off road, good manners on road - perfect for a DD that sees some dirt and rocks on the weekends.

one thing i noticed is that you should get whole new rear leaf packs, they last a lot longer that an Add a leaf, they do really well off roading, and they make your jeep look sick.

I run a 3 inch AAL with 30x9.5s. This is not bad but i plan on upgrading to 31x10.5s on a set of soft 8s to get a wider stance. A lot of the time, the rubbing issue people are talking about has to do with the backspacing on the wheel.

Love the 33s. I'm actually in the process of going to 4.5" and 33's myself. 6 months from now my rig will look completely different.

Yeah... mines a daily driver, and I drive to and from my college every couple of weekends and so my machine gets alot of highway use along with the interstate. I run my cars fast alot (dont get caught, a ticket for going 78 in a 55 is about 250 big ones), so I need to know how well a jeep will run with a quality 3" lift and 31 inch tires at speeds of 70-80 mph?
