Replying to: busababe07 (May 14, 2009 9:16 pm) 31x10.5's should fit stock. A 2.5" lift with a body lift will give a nice look and you can go up to 32 or 33" tires with a slight lift. 30's or 31's will look too small on a lifted Jeep. Ask me how I know.   If your son is a new driver, a higher COG vehicle may NOT be your best choice...   -Paul
#182 of 193 Tire size / lift / backspacing by karlw90 May 19, 2009 (10:20 am)
I've read several times that a 2" lift will allow a 32" tire to fit (which makes sense, since a 30" fits with no lift), however does anyone here actually have that setup? That is, just a 2" lift, nothing else, and a 32x11.5 tire? Just wondering if anyone has a real-world example before I commit to 32" tires. I'm getting a 2" RE BB lift done this Friday and want to order the tires soon.   Also, I just purchased some 15x8 rims with 3.75 backspacing. Since my stock wheels have 5.5 bs, this creates a 1.25" space, my tire will be 2" thicker, but only 1" on the interior side, so I should still have .25" clearance in the wheel well and not have to worry about rubbing. Does this sound correct? Replies to this message: erickpl (May 20, 2009 5:07 am)

Replying to: karlw90 (May 19, 2009 10:20 am) Those will fit fine.   I run 12.5 wide with 4.25" backspacing with only very minor rubbing at full lock. 3.75" would alleviate it completely for the 11.5" wide tires.   -Paul

#185 of 193 help with tires and lifts by piratejcc Aug 26, 2009 (9:48 am)
Hi everybody--- I have a 2009 unlimited Sahara ... I wanted to upgrade the tires and was thinking about a 35" 30570R18 tire---what size lift will I need? can i get away with a 2-2.5" spacer lift, or would this require a whole new suspension? Would I need to modify anything else to get tires this big....and if so what size tire can I get up to (32 or 33) without having to start swapping bumpers, etc so I am not rubbing.. Thanks for any advice you guys can provide.

Replying to: robertjenkin (Aug 31, 2009 6:39 am) Two possible causes spring to mind. First is an intermittent bad connection/ground/wiring fault, probably in the column or dash area. Because of its occasional nature the easiest way to track it down is to access the wiring in those areas and just wiggle things around until the fault appears. You can often narrow it to one connector or a few inches of wiring loom that way, and then you can go in with a circuit tester to find it precisely.   Second, it could be the PCM. If so it should still be covered by your emissions warranty, even though you're over the mileage for your 3/36. Check your handbook for details.   However, the thing that puzzles me the most is the uncommanded activation of the screen washer. AFAIK the PCM plays no part in its operation, so it would have to be activated either by a faulty switch (which could possibly be the cause of the whole problem anyway), or by a direct short. I'd start my investigation with that switch and the area surrounding it.

My daughter loves our 1990 wrangler - she likes the round headlight look. Do any of you know if used or new front body fenders-grill-hood will bolt onto our 1990 yj ? Replies to this message: erickpl (Sep 24, 2009 12:04 pm) tjd241 (Sep 26, 2009 5:22 am)
#190 of 193 2004 WRANGLER X - NEED TIRES by hiker2023 Sep 24, 2009 (10:56 am)
I have a 2004 Wrangler X with 81,000. The first time I had the Death Wobble was this summer (I live in PA) going 70 mph. Was not fun. I replaced the steering stablilizer (the shock on the factory one was worn out). This seems to have solved the problem. Also had the waterpump go out this summer, but this is the first major maintenance in 5 years. Anyway, I'm looking for tires that are good on the highway, bad weather and some mild offroad. Has anyone heard of Cooper's American Prospectors or have a suggestion for a good median priced tire? Replies to this message: mac24 (Sep 25, 2009 7:22 am)
