Here are some things that i have done with the help of you guys. Torsion tweak 1.25 going to do another .25 more (total of six turns), should be ok right? That give me a total 1.5" in the front. PRO COMP ES9000 shocks all around. 3leaffab 2" shackles in the back. Waiting on the zone offroad body lift and PRO COMP steering stabilizer and all ball joints. Please comment

Sorry SlickVic, been kinda hit and miss on the forum. The aftermarket torsion bar keys just allow you to crank the height up further than the factory ones. Which even the factory ones cranked to high can cause problems, so you could see how the aftermarket ones could just make it worse.
Most people on here love the BFG AT's, but tires is up to the indiviual. What looks good to you and fits your needs and has the load rating and sidewall plys and all that that you'd want. But I'm sure some people will chime in on what tires they like running. I'd reccomend my tires, but they only make them in one size, lol

if you are doing the body lift as well then I would get 32's.

Thought I would try and help. I have a 2000 Jimmy 2" BL and 1.5 TBK and 1.5 left lift in rear. Did not want rubbing on the sway bar with stock BS so I put mid 80's Z28 rims (FYI Irocs are R16 not sure on the backspacing) on and 31 x 10.5 Traildiggers on. Before backing out of the shop I had to remove plastic body moulding or I could not drive even staight. After removing body molding I had to sawsall about 1/2" on the inside of fender which was not noticable at all. I could drive fine for regular driving but any sort of incline and they would rub bad! I ended up cutting approx 1.5" wide at bottom and ?? height cut and replaced body molding and I can completely felx with no rubbing. If you are a steet driver then you prob won't have to trim much at all but if you plan on using 4wd then start cutting!

wow you have a tbar crank and a body lift and your 31's rub? I just have a tbar crank and I have minimal rubbing only when I'm 4 wheeling.

you don't want that tire. trust me, it's crap.
waaaaaaay to slippery in the rain, and doesn't clean it's self out, when playing off road.
try looking @ the Goodyear Wrangler MT/R, the Firestone Destination M/T or the General Grabber AT2's (a few members have those Grabber's).
and please don't type in Caps Lock, we can hear you just fine.
