Default ok almost done ! let's give me last tip to decide tire!

I just order RK 2.5 stock w/ bilstein shocks and teraflex bump stop from northridge 4x4!

last thing is tire,

I'm thinking between nitto trail grappler 285 75 r17 and bfg ta km2 as same size with nitto or 305 70 r 17


so just make sure, 2.5 in lift with 285 75 r17 does not have any rubbinf issue right?

and what if i choose 305 70 r17 bfg tire, am i gonna get some rubbing issue?

I've got the same setup on my jeep. Tires will rub if you put 35" tires before the lift. I went with BFG KM2's. Love them, very quiet and have not let me down on the trail so far. Side wall is 3ply, which IMO is the only downfall of these tires.

Running GoodYear Duratracs 275/65r18's and I love them...had slight rubbing at full lock but it was only a problem on tight trails never onthe road or parking lots! Lifted it and that cured it but I already had ordered the spacers so I put them on too...looks better!
