2-1/2 inch OME lift and 31s on an XJ?

Jun 27, 2005 2 Replies

Is anyone running 31" tires with the 2 1/2" Old Man Emu suspension lift? If so, what wheels are you using, and have you had any rubbing problems (or any other problems for that matter)?



Thanks! Stephen

Stock 15x7 wheels with 5+" back spacing will fit 31x10.50 tires, but the tires will rub the lower control arms when the wheel is turned full. Correct this easily by letting out the steering stop bolts. Aftermarket wheels with 4.75" back spacing will allow the full turning radius.

If you get rubbing on the upper wheel wells when driving uneven terrain, correct it by extending bump stops as required.
