I don't have enough experience with JLs yet to know this yet, so can someone tell me how big of a tire can you tuck under a stock suspension? Willys? Rubi?
Any diference with the 4doors?
How big of a tire can you go to with a spacer lift?
How big of a tire can you go with the mopar oem lift?

I run 38 x 13.5"s on stock rubi lift, I had to cut out a bunch of rear plastic and it rubs on really bad inclines. I wouldn't rec it, I just can't bring myself to drop $3k on my lift right now when I'm only camping out of it. Later this year, for sure.

35s IIRC are the usual good stock upgrade with no issues

This is probably the best picture I have of the Jeep with 35s and rubicon take offs after its settled. No rubbing what so ever.

On anything but the Rubicon, which has higher fenders, you can go to 33s without issue in stock form. On a stock Rubicon, you can go to 35s without issue.

2 door or 4 door doesn't matter.

35’s will require a lift on a stock rubicon suspension if offroading, but will be fine for street use.
Spacer lifts increase clearance for bigger tires, but don’t increase articulation offroad. They can also mess with steering/suspension geometry leading to improperly centered axles.
