[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 436448, member: 18789"] Interesting. I’m surprised it’s that close to the tailgate already with a stock rim. Stock rims and tires had about 1.5” snubbers. There were two sizes to fit various rim and tire combos from factory. My guess is the 9.5” wide tire is what’s putting it so close. I would want to snub it, as without any snubbing the tire is technically insecure And could still cause damage over time. 30‘s will not look bad; it’s mainly just that 31’s look the most proportional with 2.5”. But they don’t look all that different. There was a thread on Jeep forum years back where a guy posted up his red Jeep on stock, 2.5”, 30”, 31” and 32” or something like that. That really helped me decide on what I wanted. Shims on the rear leaf springs set the pinion. OME springs come with some very small shims on the rear springs they sell (36R and 37R). I want to say they’re 2° or something like that. What’s the driveshaft setup? SYE, double cardan, stock? What tcase drop? The OME tcase drop kit is 6 shiny puck spacers. I’m not a tcase drop fan but the OME version is a very non intrusive one; it complements the shims they supply with the springs perfectly. But if your pinion angle seems way high, the PO may have added their own fatter shims for whatever reason, correct or not. [/QUOTE]
