Owning a CJ is for manly men, they allows you to do manly stuff like auto mechanics and welding and drinking beer. Manly men own CJs. Manly men do not drive hummers, they receive them.

buy the kit with the replacement springs.  you'll want them.  add-a-leaves have a tendency to work themselves sideways and rub through your $190 a piece mtr's.  and I still think you should go rubicon express.  rough country sucks.  they're springs are too stiff.

here's a complete 3.5 for 584.95.  springs and everything from rubicon express.. 3.5 will be MORE then enough for 31's, and with some light trimming on the corners of your fenders, then 32's.

Advanced? auto zone? napa? If you get the measurements they can usually get you whatever you need.

Those rims are 15x8 so any 31x10.5x15 will work just fine. The BFG ATs on my XJ came from Sears. I wanted the free tire rotations and balancing as well as a warranty if I put a hole in them and Sears is everywhere. It's actually the only place I could find that is in Michigan and Connecticut.
