Good advice--I'm going to give this one a shot. Thanks.

I took a peek at the Baja Claws and they look quite nice--but I'm in CO (and
I see you are in VA). I'll try to find someone local that's looking to get
rid of their wheels and tires from a new or fairly new Rubicon.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Unless anyone can convince me otherwise, it
looks like I'll go with 31s and sway bar disconnects--and try not to make
any other changes at this time unless necessary.

You'll enjoy the 31's. Yes, it would be very impractical to come all
the way to the east coast. Definately get the MT/Rs if you can. I have
a set of 30x9.5" MT/R's on an 89 XJ and they are fantastic. Put them on
at about 128k, now have 148k, still look new, ride great, great
traction off road and are pretty quiet for a mud tire!
