Huge Update!! 
So I only wanted to put 32's on my jeep but when you find 33's and rims for cheap on craigslist then you do what ya gotta do. And I couldn't be happier! Threw some duplicolor on the rims to cover up the little rust and I think it looks preettay good
Looks like making a low cog cherokee after all! Time to bumpstop!

Went to the JY today to pick up a few things. Had plenty of V8 ZJ's to get a swaybar off but only one out of the whole yard had a swaybar left on it. So I grabbed it and it turned out it was exactly the same as the one I had...
But I was also there to find a better tie rod and I was about to pull off one from a V8 ZJ but then I saw this guy
Pulled the beefist tie rod I've ever seen off of it. There wasn't much left to get off of it though. Ill post a pic of it later
Since I was so excited about my new tires I took it out to the beach to mess around. Here's some pics.

So here's a little video of the beach.
It's actually pretty dumb and nothing special but look at all that empty beach we had to ourselves

Thanks man, really appreciate that. Yea a few things made me choose 3" over 4.5. Main one is that I didnt want to invest in a SYE and I didn't really plan on getting 33's. However I'm thinking maybe soon I may pick up a Hack N Tap from IRO for pretty cheap and may throw on some shackles and coil spacers just for another inch but idk yet but I have loved my 3" lift.
