Default Leveling Kit / Tire Set Up ???

Need some advice on whether anyone has done this setup before... I have an '08 X and requested a copy of my build sheet from Jeep. Turns out I have the "HD" suspension. I'm assuming heavier springs from a Rubi with that option? Does seem mine sits up a touch taller than other X's I've seen around town. Anyways, I'm going with the Teraflex 1.5" Leveling Kit and Spidertrax 1.5" spacers...would I be able to run a 34" tire with that setup and no/minimal rubbing or should I stick with a 33"?

Thanks for any advice!

ya, it will fit without rubing the fenders on the street.

but you will have rubbing issues with the fenders when off roading.

x2 on what Pluke said. I've got that setup on my Rubi, and run a 33.5" tire. There's a little more room for a 34, but if you plan on lots of flex, you'll rub the fenders a bit.

LOL, why does it seem that the next month and a 1/2 is the slowest time of the year? Does it have something to do with that nice juicy govt. check? he hee
