32's fit without trimming, 33's with a little. A 10.5" wide tire would be good for a stock rim. And then match the rim size

Some people don't even install a tc drop (transfer case drop) at that hight but a lot of people only have to do a tc drop like me. Most people don't have to install a sye till 5.5ish and up so you should have no reason to. And for the pitman arm drop you do that if you get a track bar drop bracket. Getting a new adjustable track bar is a good idea at that hight so you might aswell plan for it
Hope this is helpful

500? Should be about a 200 dollar kit then just the front shaft out of an automatic xj. And when I did mine I started in the front because I had heard it was that easier that way, the front also has more things that you have to mess with
And I'm glad this is useful!

You can run 31x10.50 on 7 inch rims with no problems. I ran 35x12.50s on 8 inch wheels for a while

Runs 31/10.5's with stock backspacing (whatever stock rims i have, dunno he actual BS), and stock bump stops. It rubsmthe lca's a hair at full turn and the sway bar a lil when disco'd. Nothing to worry about. Have flexed it out without tearing up anything. Rides much better than the original sloppy floppy jalloppy suspension. Gets me where i wanna go.

ok here goes…94 cherokee, 6 inch lift in rear ( 2 inch block,2 inch shackle,2 inch spring) 1 1/2 inch transfer case drop. approx 5 inch front( 3 inch spring,2 inch spacer) brand new rough country steering dampener shock , and 5000′s all the way around. brand new adjustable track bar.my lower control arms are stock but have new bushings and have been adjusted all the way forward to give me 8 degrees of caster. i have the toe in perfect and the alighnment of the track bar and the steering gear appear to be geometric. i have welded the steering box to the frame and the adjusting nut on the track bar to restrict any movement and i have tightened every component on the front with a cheater bar. i have new sway bar bushings and 2 inch extended links. im running 33×12.50 x15 bf goodrich kos with 40 psi .i do not have a drop pitman arm and this set-up has been running flawless and super tight for the last 3000 miles.this jeep has never been off road or ever involved in an accident, but now im developing a wobble with my right front tire and i just spent 10 hrs going through every component and i am at a total loss because every thing is in order ,if not better than it was previously. this jeep has 113,000 miles on it and dont want to go spend a bunch of money if its not going to help. any ideas?

did you drop a wheel weight and why in gods name are you running 40PSI? i wouldn't be surprised if the tires in the front had cupped and wore funny. you should run maybe 32PSI.
