No, it wa sa manufacturing change, not a recall, so all liberties purchased before the date are higher than those purchased afterwards. I believe it was just the length of the coil that did it, with no other changes.

Yes and no. If you are getting a spacer lift, you need to be aware of the extra height from a pre-lowered, because you will need less of a spacer to get to the maximum height (yes there is a maximum height. It varies, but the idea is that you want to keep the CV angles manageable). If you are getting a suspension lift, you will be changing out the springs anyway, so it will have the same effect on your jeep as one that was lowered, since the springs are gone anyways.
Quote: What size tires are equal to 31" tires
245/75R16 is a 31" tire, and is what the majority of the people are running
265/70R16 is a 31" tire. It's the same diameter, but a lot wider
225/85R16 is about a 31" tire. Not many people run this one, it's pretty narrow.
Quote: I am thinking about going for a 2.5 inch lift 30 or 31" tires depending on clearance issues and an aftermarket cold air intake, chip and exhuast. eventually a skidplate and some sliders.
If you're planning on going offroad, I suggest getting the skids + sliders BEFORE the lift. The lift just lets you bang your exposed undercarriage on much larger things.
You should have no problem fitting 31s under a 2.5" lifted liberty. Good luck!
