From what I've researched, you probably will have to do some trimming with only a 2" lift. I'm putting 3"on mine this weekend and inn might have some trimming to do as well when go to put 31s on.

I got a 3.5" lift with 31's and had to trim the front lower fender flare, but i have 3.5" BS on my wheels, might make a little difference.

my girlfriend is putting a 4.5 in lift on her cherokee and we cant decied on a tire we were going to go with the bfg km2's but they are on a nation wide back order. we wanna go with a 33x10.50 so we dont have to get new wheels and not just a straight mud tire because her jeep is her dd and she drives it back and forth from school and work everyday. any thoughts on a tire suggestion would be greatly appreciated

X2. Have not heard, seen, or experianced much good with T/A ko. Good for mostly road, some trail and little snow but not so good for deep snow or any mud.

No, they're not very good on deep snow our mud. That'd why they make mud tires. But their life span definitely beats out a soft mud tire on pavement. Since it is her dd I figured that's what she would be driving on most of the time and not a swamp or the arctic.

If you have a 4.5" lift and 33's im sure your going to try to go through some deep snow and hit a few mud hole's(i sure would anyways), so why spend all that money on the lift and then throw tires on that will only hold you back. I can understand it on a littler jeep with not much or any lift that see's road 99% of the time or if the lift and big tires are all for show. Just IMO.

Yea her jeep is gonna be more of the show and mine is the trail rig/dd. She decided today she is just gonna save up some extra cash and just wait for the km2's and get new wheels.

Well in that case the a/t's would be fine...but ya a nice set of wheels is always a plus and good idea to wait for the km2's heard a lot of good about them.

Yea we have herd nothing but good about the km2's. I'd tell her to go with the a/t's if her jeep would never see mud but she wants to play to. The a/t's are still an amazing tire though I have a hill by my house that is extremely steep and when it snows that hill is nasty but our old Dakota with them didn't even have to put it in 4wheel most times. Their a great snow and rain tire but not mudd
