2'' lift with 32's, will it grind?

32s shouldn't rub unless at very full articulation with 2" on a TJ, might rub at full steering if you use stock rims, but you can ajust the steering stops to correct this !
I have 31s on my YJ which have less space in the fenders than a TJ and it didn't rub except on the leaves at full steering. I had only a 1" BL untill this weekend, now the 31s look too small with 5" of lift !
Also, for the stock rims, use a 32x10.5 tire and you will be fine with a 15x7 rim.
I have 31x10.5x15 on my stock YJ wheels (7" wide). You can also fit 12.5 inch wide tires but it's the limit, one of my friend runs 33x12.5 on his stock 7" wide rims.

Thanks Sector, thats very good to know. my first car ever was a YJ. funny how sometimes u come back full circle in life.
Congrats on the lift, 5'' on a yj should be killer. I was going to go 4'' but im trying to keep the car somewhat civilized in terms of height.
Is it tough to adjust the steering stops?
You will rub on the control arm at full turn, and may rub on rear upper spring perch while axle flex (YJ has neither so they are a bit more forgiving). Your tire also may rub on flare when spring is compressed if you haven't extended the bumpstop.
15x7 wheel is a bit narrow for 11.5 wide tires, but will be fine if you go for 10.5. Steering stop is just a bolt, take it out, add a couple of washers and put it back on. However with 32 you will need to adjust them a lot and lose a lot of turning radius. I bet your rim has 5.5" of backspacing so the common 1.25 wheel spacer will be plenty.

je te dit pas que tu peut pas mettre des gros pneus
du 31x10.50r15 sa fit sur tes rims pis c'est pas une grosse difference avec
les 32x11.5r15
serieusement meme si tu reussi a mettre les tires sur tes rims
ca va etre vraiment laid (jveux pas te basché) mais c sa qui est ca lol
ca va etre vraiment trop baloune ! un pti peu c'est beau mais toi ca va etre exageré !
mais pourquoi tu t'achete pas des rim 15x8 ??
ou
pourquoi tu prend pas du 31x10,50r15 ??
selon moi tes mieu d'avoir un tire un peu plus petit mais qui fit bien que d'avoir l'air fou avec des tires 1 pouce plus gros

ouais j'aurais du peut etre prendre des 31'. Mais mon deal c'etait pour des 32, et j'ai trouver un lift de 2'', donc cote look ca devrait etre beau. Pas trop aggressif ni commun.
J'ai penser a des rims de 15x8, mais j'en trouve pas a bon prix. Je viens de payer les pneus et la suspension, donc payer un autre 400-500 dollars ca peut faire un peu mal...du moins juste maintenant. Peut etre dans 2 mois, ca pourrais ce faire.
Si tu connais qqun qui veux vendre des rims type american racing baja, je pourrais etre acheteur a un bon prix.
Merci pour tes commentaires.
Consider people run 12.5 on 8" all the time, I'd say 11.5 on 7" is okay. As for rubbing, wheel spacer is pretty much the only way to solve it short of buying new wheels. Search ebay there are a lot (or sdl, national4wd etc.), get 4 1.25" ones with 5 on 4.5" bolt pattern. Don't get those just sandwitch between wheel and hub, I don't trust them.
The correct way to install bumpstop extension is take out spring, pull the rubber bumpstop, take off the cup, add some sort of spacer under it then reinstall the whole thing. But I got lazy so I glue a hockey puck on the lower spring perch with rtv silicone.

yeah thanks for the tips, ive found someone who can do the spacers for me. so ive solved that part. but honestly im slowly getting convinced that i might get rims after all.
i have to admit, i like my rims, they are regular stock jeep ecco rims but they are painted gunmetal, thats the way they come on the columbia edition.
but if it means im going to have to sacrifice alot on the performance size, then rims is the way to go. although like i said earlier its also a budget thing. im keeping my eye on the used sections.
so basically with my lift and rim with the right offset, u guys think ill be fine all around, no rubbing on the side or on the top?
