For a 2" lift... I'd go for 30's. If you are planning on going to a larger lift before you wear out the tires, then look at 31's.
This is one of my old jeeps with a 2" BB and 30" tires. The rear end is closer to 3" than 2" its only about a week after I did the lift.

it will be inf act IMHO an XJ with 2" of lift is how it should have come from the factory...also get yourself a can of PB Blaster and start spraying your shock bolts and rear shackle/spring bolts..It will make removal much much better..

No.. IIRC, the package was quite pricey for what you actually recieved. I will have to see if any of the sales brochures I had survived the flood. But I seem to remember the upcountry package was around $1100 for the skid plates, the lift, longer travel shocks and upsized tires.
