Under the picture it sohuld have an IMG box with an address in it. just right click, copy-then paste it here.
FWIW I had done a Daystar BB as well and was happy with it. Did have to trim the exhaust pipe though. Also even with only 30" tires I could still get it to bottom out. I was running Firestone Destinations though which are a pretty big 30". I know my speedo was off but not by much. I would just have someone pace you @ 60 OR just chuck a GPS up on the dash while driving to figure out the differance.
EDIT- the thing I like about doing a shackle/spacer BB too is that it's an expandable lift kit in the future. I threw a set of 3.5" spring all around later and I'm now sitting at between 5-6"

Ahh the view of sweetness. Thanks girlscout1. Yea i decided to go with the Rusty's Budget lift. its the 1 3/4 inch coil spacer and an add a leaf. They said its about 2 inches andw ill make it sit level. Its only 110 bucks i believe which isnt too bad. I also decided just to stick with the 235 series but still swap to the bfg a/t. Like i said before it is my dd so i want to keep it simple. Now when i have my cruiser sitting in the driveway (in the process of being a state trooper 
) I'll lift my jeep a good 4.5-5 inches with at the least 31's maybe 32's. But thanks for all your help guys. By the way what do you think of the way she looks now? I think she's pretty damn sexy

When your in your album in photobucket, just copy and paste all the babble in the bottom box. There are 3 different line, copy and paste the bottom one in here and it will show your picture.

I ran 30x9.5 BFG muds on my stock 00 xj with no problem. They should come from the factory with 30's IMO
Not sure if this has been stated already but be careful with the shackle. if your leafs are already saggy, the front may look a tad higher with the 2" spacer.

Thanks, yea she is my baby i try to keep her as clean as possible with what little time i have between school and work. but i plan on tinting the front windows...i hate how clear they are. and like i said a minimal lift to set her apart frmo the rest of the stock xj's running around here.
