Thanks

From my limited knowledge, I don't think it'll fit
.
With no lift, in order to maintain full articulation, I think the most you can fit is a 32"
Adding a 2" econo lift to your setup would certainly make it all fit perfectly.

Someone else want to make sure I'm correct?

Yeah, fine for the street. But it will rub with even mild offroading.

Thank you for all the input...I figured why spend the extra cash if you don't need to, but I just ordered the 2" OME lift kit with Moto Metal 957's sitting on Cooper STT 295/70/17. This is my first JEEP, I will post pics when everything is on..
