i'm pretty sure that's a post from jeepsunlimited, i rember seeing it- and he tells how he had just bought it dirt cheap. there are also pictures of it stock, and then these pictures- and he's running 30x9.50's and a 2 inch lift.
Any problems with tire rubbing with the 2" bb and 30's, that is what i am looking to do next month as my pockets aren't deep enough for a real lift right now and i need new tires, right now i'm running 235 bfg a/t's on a '98 with up country pkg. and it will just barely rub the front flares with the sway bar disconnected and flexed all the way into the bumpstops with the wheels cut.

that looks good to me for a DD/mild wheeler. I'm running 235 75 r15 AT's on stock worn suspesion right now with no swaybars and no rubbing except on the LCA's when turning (should adjust the steering stops but havn't yet). I'm installing V8 coils and a spacer+a few extra leafs in the back to give a small 2.5" lift. I think that with small tires and a small lift you can still keep good gas mileage for the daily driver duty and still take it out on a few trails on the weekend. Good compromise IMO
It's very minor rubbing, only when flexed all the way up front and only the inside lip of the flare rubs, definately not what you see during normal wheeling, I only know about it because as soon as i finished my disco's my brother and i went and found a rock pile on the ranch to test just how flexy it was and i cut the wheel with the tire at full stuff got out and noticed the lf tire just touching the inside lip of the flare.
If you get the right wheels you wont rub 30s at stock height.
My XJ came with 30x9.5 BFGs when I bought it. They were mounted on TJ Canyon Rims which are 15x8 w/ 5.5 inches of backspacing. No Rubbing whatsoever on anything at all.
