anyone have pics of an xj with a 2 inch lift, cut fenders, and 33's?

starting a new job thursday, so i finally get to pick up the XJ i've been eyeing.

i have 3 50% tread TSL's and one that has MAYBE 1% left, going to try to find one more 50% to have a set and use the drag slick for a spare

i plan to lift it 2 inches with spacers up front and a bastard pack in the back. i dont want to go any higher because of driveshaft angles and whatnot, so please do not suggest that, i'm perfectly happy cutting the fenders since this will be a trail only rig.

well, i've seen stock height xj's with minor trimming on 31's, so i think a 2 inch lift and pretty heavy trimming will do the job...

i'll bumpstop it to like 2 inches of uptravel if i have to and just let my flex come from droop, i dont need a lot of flex anyways

any pics?

i MIGHT go 3 inches, we shall see i guess...


i'm going to build the bastard pack, then level the front with that...probably use s10 leaves since they are plentiful in junkyards (and old rednecks backyards ) around here.

but yah, pics of an xj on 33's with minimal lift and cutting?

heavymetalxj has 33x12.5 on his cherokee with no lift. You could probably pm him for pics if you want.
