I would like to know why I can run 30x9.50's on my stock XJ, and with a RE3.5 lift it says I can only run 31's? This makes no sence.:huh:

the 31" is without trimming the jeep. you can run 35" tires on the re 3.5. there was a thead about that in the pics section. you will have to trim and bump stop to run the tires tho.

I have a 3'' kit and 31x10.5's with stock wheels and I had to adjust the turn stops to keep the tires off of the lca's. I think that when a manufacturer lists a maximum tire size they usually are listing the maximum that can be run with (minimal) rubbing and no cut fenders. *ya beat me to it*

not to mention they probably assume you're using stock rims with the 5.25" backspacing. I have the RE 3.5" Superride and I'm positive I could fit a 33 under there minimal trimming, its just I would need rims with less backspacing so I don't rub under turns.

I run 31x10.50s on 2" and no trimming on my dd with 4.25 backspacing and I would never dream of running it disconnected, It rubs on the flares on sharp turns as it is. It's not wheelable at all the way it is.

Trim it! ive trimmed a good bit out of mine ZERO rubbing 31s 4 in backspaced steelies and a 2in BB i could probably sqeeze on 33s and then they may rub. Embrace the grinder and have fun with it!

Edit: and im fully disconnected all the time front and rear
