I hope that I can get at least 3/4" up front if I switch from 17/58 to 19/60, because my wheels have a 4.75 backspacing.
I'll install the new tires after swapping shocks and springs, and if there is any rubbing it would probably be against the air dam so I'll trim it!

I found a dramatic and discernible improvement in ride quality, most obvious in the reduction of dive, squat and yaw. There are a few spots on my ride to work where the truck would predictably go un-balanced through a turn or over bumps and the Rubi gear improved the rigs stability by a decent margin. Makes me wonder how much better a top-line suspension could be.
And duh... I didn't think about removing the tags... Can we have a do-over on my last response?

19's were installed today. Here are the numbers, before and after.
2008 Unlimited Sahara
Dual tops, tow pkg.
Stock was 15/16 in front, 59's in the rear.
Front stock height (from ground to bottom of flare, straight up from the wheel center) = 34.5"
Front height after the 19's installed (same measuring point) = 35 5/8"
So, just over an inch gain in front. Again, I didn't change the rears. It looks good, but I may opt for a TF leveling kit in the future to really level everything out.
