Re: Time for new tires
You're right. A 1" body lift helps.
I hope I'm still off roading at 80! God bless your Dad!

Re: Time for new tires
When I got my YJ it had 31x10.5 on factory wheel. There was not enough
clearance, not even street use, IMHO. The tires would rub the flairs and
was creating and added arc to the flair. To cure that I added a 1" body
lift. It helped but still did not get it all. So on went the Rubicon
Express 2.5" extreme duty lift. and I trimed about 1" off of the flairs.
I would suggest that if you go with 31x10.5 tires you should also get a 1"
body lift even for just street use. It all really depends on what you plan
on doing.

So I could go 30 x 9.5 with no lift and no rubbing at all on a 93? For
