Answer 1

Doesnt look too bad and as long as you seal up the rear hatch on that side you shouldnt have a problem.  As far as the tires rubbing... you can either go with 31"s or go with a bigger lift (5-6")... I would offer about $1800 for it...

Answer 2

its nice...but

caveat emptor

good luck

Answer 3

had a 95 grand,loaded 4x4,18 mpg max,with your big tires &lift look for poor mpg. 4.0 in line 6 cyl. is a work horse ,mine had 210,000+ tranny was good, transfercase was reworked at165,000. if it's gonna be a beater, go for it,keep good  fluids in eng&drivetrain !

Answer 4

It says 4" in the add so I will go by that. 32's with a 4" lift are very common. maybe check the backspacing of the rims or do as i have, cut your pizza cut and hammer back your fenders. will give close to 2" of extra clearance. cut old flares to fit and voila no rubbing and in my opinion looks cool. good project as well. If you are going to enter the off road world.  

Answer 5

That is a good deal.  The tires will rub, you may want to consider gettig some smaller ones, however, those look nice!

I sold my 2000 with 110k for $5400.
