Thanks! It was a blast to wheel both of them.

Very nice Jeeps!
Thanks! Oh yeah, you can definitely fit 33's with 3.5" of lift. The orange XJ is running Bushwacker flat flares with no additional trimming with 34's (with proper bumpstops) and no rubbing!

Nice Jeep man... although, the idea of this thread is for you to post it on level ground.

I off-roaded them hard this week over Devil's Punchbowl and Pearl Pass both near Crested Butte,CO.
They did awesome! They seem very durable and capable. They do slip a bit on slick granite faces as they are not very siped.

Zone 3" with replacement leaf kit. 31x10.5r15 BF Goodrich AT KO2. Fresh out of the garage with the blue protection paint still on the white letterings.

Stiffness and slight bouncy ride also included in this lift kit.
