I know I'm a little late to this, but I put a 3 inch lift on my 99 Sport about a year ago. The kit came with new control arms, so I took off the stock ones.

I run 30 in tires on 15 in wheels and have they never rubbed, and I have zero problems at full lock. The reason I went with 30's is because I didn't want to worry about trimming or rubbing now or later when/if the suspension starts to sag (not sure how much that happens, I'm still kind of a noob).

I'm not gonna lie, though, there are times when I wish I went with 31's so that my wheel well was filled out more, but my 30's have served me well so I can't complain.

At the time of the post, I gave you incorrect information wheel spacers are required to use red loctite

I run 3.5" lift, I've also run this lift with with 31's w/o rubbing, Then bumped to 33's and adjusted my bumpstops, They never Rubbed either, Now I have 35's and need to adjust my bump stops before I go wheeling so I wont rub.

3.5 on 35s that's a great setup.

get cheap wheels with back spacing and run 31's at least. it will look so much better and be worth it in the end


EDIT: just noticed how old this tread was lol
