Title: How big with BB
Post by: bear555 on February 09, 2009, 09:19:29 PM
OK I\'m tired of people tripping over my cherokee so I\'m going to put a little Budget boost on it. Which begs the question. Whats the max tire size can fit on a 99 xj with 1.5 to 2\" lift, I think I saw some web sites that said 31 but I\'m looking for other opinions.
Feel free to make fun of my little lift

you can fit 31\"s ,but expect a little rub here and there without trimming while wheeling or if you have a lot of weight in the back and hit a pothole.

CHEAP since I\'m only going planning to have the xj for another 2 years. I\'m also trying to save the cash for my super slow TJ-5 (not a typo) project. So I\'m looking at the 99$ daystar coil spacer and shackle from 4wd.com I got a gift card for Christmas. Then I\'m thinking of looking for some 30.5x9.5 r15 retreds or used tires from tiretrax.
Opinons?

well for $140 more you could get a rough country 3\" which consists of front springs,rear add a leafs and replacement shocks, that be the way i\'d go for a budget.unfortunately 4wd doesnt carry them.
