Key lift and tire question
 
I just recently added a 2" body lift to my Jimmy. I then cranked the keys almost 1.5" and I ran a few test with it on speed bumps, curbs, a ditch, and the suspension was still perfect. When it gets to much, would I feel a MAJOR difference in the ride? Im trying to find how much I can go.
Also, After the 2"body and the torsion lift, It seems like I wouldnt have any problem fitting 32's on it. If the only problem with 32's is rubbing, are there any certain rims that correct that? What should I look for when buying rims to fit 32's? (If they will fit)

You are going to rub on the fenders while flexing with anything other than stock rims. How wide are you going to get.

I was planning on 31x10.5 If I got 32's it would probably be 10.5 also. The rims I was looking at is 4"backspacing. I will need 6" backspacing to not rub?

It's kind of a catch 22. If you go with a smaller backspacing you'll rub fender. If you stick with stock and go much wider than 10.5 (that is if 10.5 actually clears) you're going to rub frame. I prefer smaller backspacing because you can trim fender...can't really trim frame;)
