It should work. How bad is the sag in the rear end?

Regardless, it should work. And if they tuck up in the rear that shouldn't be a problem, unless your new rims (if you're getting new rims) have a different backspacing.

Go for it.

I would avoid bumps too... my mom has a stock 91 with 30's on it and they fill the wheel well. For temporary short term should be okay, if you are trying to park in a crowded lot or go over speed bumps with passengers I would be cautious of the LCA's and front fenders towards the bumper.

the wife's has 31's on the stock suspension, it will rub in the back if you get to the bumpstops, it will rub on the LCa's up front when turning tight.

I have a 2 inch lift with 31's and they rub if I hit a bump hard or flex hard in the back. Also the fronts will rub the control arms pretty good at full lock. Just do a budget boost " 2"in lift" for under $100.00 and you will fit them but still rub a little. I wouldn't run 31's on a stock cherokee without trimming.
