WJ suspension and tire/wheel inquiry
Just bought an '04 GC Overland in stock form and have to quickly decide on keeping some 255x70r17 JK Rubicon take-offs or going another size. Many ?s... 1) will these fit with a 2" spring spacer? 2) can I use JK springs (Rubi or 2" coils - I have both) * 3) if mostly street, do I need longer shocks, and do JK shocks work with aforementioned 2" springs?

Just saw this.
You can't use JK springs, They are a bit different I do believe.
The tires you mention are a 30" x 10" tire and should fit stock, just don't disconnect the sway bar or you'll rub !
I don't know the length of the JK shocks, but stock shocks will work with a 2" lift. The shocks for the OME are not too much longer than stock.
Know that you WILL rub if you disconnect with a 31" tire and 3" of lift in certain situations with no increased bump stops.
