Default 305/65/18 w/ a 1.75 BB lift????

Well I've decided that I hate the look of my Jeep w/ the stock 32" tires and want to go bigger. I have some questions that you guys might help me out with.


Will the Pro Comp 1.75 bb lift be enough to clear a 305/65R18 tire w/ spacers or would a 33" tire be a more suitable choice?


I have a 6 speed with the 3.73 gears.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think this would work ok. I'm pretty sure a 305/65R18 tire is just a bit larger than a 33" so I don't think you will have any problems.

you should not have any problems with that lift and tire size. But, it might rub a little bit on full turn of the wheel, but I really dont think so...

With that life and 33s you will be fine, but the larger 305s will probably rub and full flex and turn. If you go to a 2.5" lift you should be fine with both.
