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!
