Re: Lifting my YJ
Four choices.
Spring, Shackle, body, and the best choice, SPRING OVER. Of course, I don't think spring-over is right for the OP.

Re: Lifting my YJ
Just put the tires on. They'll fit, and if you're doing 'light
off-roading' you shouldn't have any problems. I've run 30" tires on my stock '93 YJ for a couple years now and I've never had a problem in all of the 'light' off-roading I've done. FYI, my tires were from a TJ sport with the stock rims. Pay attention to your backspacing if you're not using stock rims and adjust steering stops accordingly. Or, like Carl said, SPRING OVER!

I'm sure you've said this before, but what size tires are in those pictures?
