go with something like 240-245/70(maybe 65)R16, pound the pinch, trim, take it easy stuffing, turning tight... and they won't look too shabby when you lift it, either.

Congrats! What spring rate did you choose?

Congrats! My Frankie and my new black steelies are sitting in my garage waiting for me to decide-on/buy tires and find time to install it all. The anticipation is KILLING ME!!!

I'm going to have to check out those 31X10.5X15 Trxus Super Swampers.

I have heard great things about the tires. The only negative I have heard is they are hard to balance. So we'll see I guess, but I will post pics and let you know what I think. I can't imagine having a lift and wheels in my garage and no tires. I would loose it. It is going to be hard enough waiting the couple of days for my lift while I have my tires and wheels waiting.

Where did you get your tires?

I went with the heavy duty springs. I figured I can always ad bumpers that way.

Ok, now that I know you're running HD coils, I can easily say 245/70R16s will fit. Yes you can run them without a lift but, my MT/Rs rub while backing up at full left lock (lifted 2.5" and pinch weld pounded) so I hesitate to recommend this size for unlifted KJs, even though I know that it works with most tires (I really don't think it would work with Goodyear MT/Rs, though). I really think something like 245/65R16 or 240/75R16 would be better for someone getting a lift but not able to afford tires for awhile yet. Finding something worthy in these sizes can be a PITA though so we do what we have to... which might mean limiting our Jeeps to dirt 2-tracks and minor flexing until we get that lift, sometimes so read a little more and decide what you want your Jeep to do.

I thought 265/75/16 tires were 31.6/10.4/16, at least that is what my pro comp tire calculator told me when I was researching tires before I decided.

I'd be putting some big bumpstops in the rear with that wheel and tyre setup if the FLII doesn't already come with some, other wise you'll probably start ripping off the rear flares when flexing. The tyres may not be as tall as 265/75/16's but, I take it you have your rims like mine with far less backspacing to clear the calipers, so the tyres sit further out, thus contact the flares more.

I run 31/10.5/15s myself, heres what I did, It's prolly a little hard to make out, but you can see the bumpstop at the bottom of the rear coils attatched to the coil perch.






And heres a write-up of the whole install of the coils and shockies.
