I see you're using your stock rims, I was under the impression you couldn't get 31x10.5s on those (the stock rims are 15x9.5 no?)... So I can get bigger tires without dumping money into new rims?!?!

I was actually just looking at the rough country lift kits to buy (I'm gonna go for the 3.5" (has it served you well?)

got a 4.5 inch lift on its way here. What is the largest tire I can get under here without trimming and will I need a different offset wheels to fit 'em? Was looking into 32x 12.5's on 15x10 wheels, but need to know if it's worth the hassle.

dude, thanks man. I'm trying to plan as much as I can before I get into anything. I thought the tire width had to fit the wheel width, guess I was wrong (I learn something new everyday). What a relief, and I think I am going to go with the Rough country lift.. it looks legit, and its reasonably priced.

4.5 inch Rubicon Express superflex lift, plus 33 x 12.5 x 15 tires. I guess I only thought it was hard for me to get into before, lol. Darn "Stumpyleg Syndrone"

Cool

95 limited, 5" lift, 33/12.5/16s. "Trimmed" the front fenders, and built both my bumpers. I cut all the sheet metal out in the front so nothing is in the way of the tire. She will soon be sitting at about 7" on 35s. I just re built the rear suspension, and will be "trimming" the rear!
