Will a 235 85 16 fit on my jeep with a 2" lift?

Is it really that bad? It's not much larger than stock. I am not going against what you say. I really just don't understand. I wish someone lived around me with that size or larger so I could see for myself.

I've had my share of tires in 235/85-16.
They are big enough to require a regear if you don't want to get annoyed with the drag on driveablity.
Try the 215/85-16. Taller skinny tire look and only an slightly bigger than stock (29.1 vs 30.4)

The 3.7 has a sweet spot where it likes to run on the highway, where everything hooks up like it should, going to larger tires of course affects the RPM range and messes with tranny etc
245-75s are doable, you'll notice some difference but not that much. Move up to a 32 inch tall tire and overdrive in unuseable almost, runs hotter etc
