I would like to see what a 245/70R16 looks like on a stock KJ. If anyone has these please post pictures. If yours is lifted that's ok too. I'm thinking about getting General Grabber AT2's for my KJ. Thanks |

highest u can go if you have a 2.5" lift is 265. maybe even 285 but thats pushing it. If you have mods... i have some 285 BFGs i put on my KJ.theyre huge.. but my ARB bumper leaves a lot of room for the tires... but still cuts it close. stock suspension i think biggest is 245 |

need more than 2.5 inches to fit 32s plus lots of trimming, 285s  cut out everything and hopePower, well you have none left to use OD |

lol idk what lifts you buy. but 2.5 inch lift is enough for 265's and.. with 285's u just get rubbing and like no movement lol. if u trim the plastic down you have room. i know.. i did it. ill take a pic when i get homealthough with this theres not much room for movement of the tires. hence why im lifting it higher.   it also helps that the engine isnt all stock.. so i have power

I don't buy lifts, I build them and OMEs the only way to go. If you don't have room for the tire to move up and down in the wheelwell no use to install it |
