I'm getting gifted an unmolested 2003 kj sport with 90k on it next weekend. I plan to keep this jeep as long as possible as my daily high/city driver and once or twice a month weekend warrior. It's the nicest vehicle I've had the privilege of owning and I don't want to mess this rig up. Please help me out by letting me know if the first step in my dream/plan will work.
First thing I'm going to do is get a good ome lift. I've had 2.5" in mind for the past couple months that I've been waiting for the jeep. Mainly because I won't have to do any other modifications a long with it (I'm hoping) and I want this jeep to last forever. Now that it's only a week away and I have a good amount of money saved... I've been looking into new wheels and tires to match the lift. I found the ones I like... Better yet... absolutely need to have the wheels if possible. I wouldn't mind getting a duratrac or ta ko.
Tires and wheels - ProComp Xtreme A/T 31X10.50R-15 on ProComp Xtreme Alloy 7069 .. 15x8 5 on 4.5 3.75BS

I love the way the 15" wheel looks. More rubber has always looked better to me as well. They clear the calipers just fine from what I've read.
With that tire and wheel... Will a 2.5" ome lift cut it? If not then what will? Keeping in mind that I want to do little to no other serious mods in the process. Possibly a new front and rear bumper and a skid plate in the far off future...but that's it... Mainly cosmetic.
I'm ordering the wheels/tires asap (Mon or Wed) if it's not just a pipe dream and I can get the lift I need in town when they get here.
Thanks in advance for any input
