Default lift questions

hey guys, great site. ive been lurking around it for some time doin research of mods im gonna do to my 01 2 door. I was wondering what your guys best opinion on tire size would be for me doing a 2 inch body and around 1 1/2" torsion crank and shackles out back. ive read alot of what can be put on, im not looking for the biggest thing i can cram under it. im just wondering since after doin many searches i cant find what the best all around tire size is with that lift. i was figuring a 31x10.50 or a 32x11.50. which would be my best option, and i do not wheel it, only time its off road is on trails that i can make it in 2wd if i had to. and also could you post some pictures up of a rig with that lift setup and let me know what its gonna look like. btw i dont wanna cut fenders, valance im willing to trim, just not my fenders.

Those rims will work fine with 31's, though don't be too surprised it you still end up with rubbing issues.

Rubbing around lock or the inside fender lip will be ok with me. It's mainly a road queen. Thanks for your reply
