I don't have pictures to post and I know no one will believe me, but on stock suspension I run 31s. I can't do any flexing but they only rub the LCA at full turn. Mine are on until I lift it.

Spacers and lift is so far so good. Jeep is primarily a hunting rig. I just wanted a little more clearance for some of the more rugged trails. And the BFG is a great all terrain tire well worth the money.

I just put some Cooper AT/3 235/75-15s on. I had some Michelin LTs in the same size from the last owner. I was just going to "wear them out" but then I saw that they were 8 years old...and 9 years old. Could be just fine, but not going to be one of those guys who has it blow out and wrap around the axel on the freeway... shame, they were 70% tread left, easy.

The coopers definitely sit higher because-

1. they sit higher
2. can't see as much over the hood
3. tripped getting in a couple times because I've only had them 2 days.
4. hood is now above neighbors ford exploder, when it was just below it previously
5. ...they sit higher.

Theoretically...they should be the same..but its not.

this is 100% stock and you can see they get close. did some off road through farmland and over rocky trails, and old train tracks...nothing hardcore, but no rubbing. No big test yet since I just got them this week
