Yeah you would on stock ride height, but he has a 2" Body Lift and a 2" T-Bar crank. Therefore there is more clearnce between the tires and the wheel wells.

well let me ask you something though. If I got a 2-3 in lift do you think that would make it so that the tires would not rub?

I am planning on getting the tires anyways without the wheels or suspension lift right now (cuz winter is approaching. So I can always do the suspension and get the wheels afterwards.

Thanks for any and all info guys

anyone know a good place for a complete suspension lift.....I really don't want to do a t-bar crank

Does this look like it would be a complete kit (meaning I don't have to do a t-bar crank).

Looks like it still has the 'keys' to crank the t-bar...

All that kit is, is a glorified t-bar crank. You will still crank the t-bars up 2", but you have new upper a-arms which does nothing really, and an add a leaf in the rear. It would be better to do a 1-1.5" t-bar crank and either 1.5 or 2" shackles($80-100) or add-a-leafs (about the same as shackles, shackles will be easier though) and then if you still have clearance issues to do a 2" body lift only $200. So your total lift would be 3-3.5"Front and 3.5-4" rear plus the .5" you get from 30" tires over stock tires, or 1" from 31" tires. Therefore the total cost would be about $300-350 for more lift plus the cost of the tires. Just my opinion from my research.

hmm don't really like the idea of doing a t-bar crank at all. I have heard to many issues of where the t-bars cannot handle the extra stress (and I go offroading quite often). Would a bodylift alone (2 in.) be good enough?

You wouldn't get anysuspension clearance with the body lift. You will get a good looking lift and more tire clearance though.
