Hey guys new here but not to cherokees. Need to know if anyone has tried running 31's with no lift? I don't care to remove the fender flares. Mine is a 4 door so trimming is out, and this is going to be a daily driver so sway bars will be hooked up still and I am not worried about flexing as much. any input or pics would be helpful , thanks!!

31's will rub with out trimming on a stock Cherokee...

31's will rub without trimming for sure,m 30's may rough at flex or full turns but not bad onroad.

^^X2!! Especially with it being an older one. I'm sure the springs are fatigued, just because it's an 87. You can install a BB for a small financial investment, and run 31s with very little trouble!! HTH!!

you can trim a 4 door

so how much lift do I need to clear 31's. Is 2 inches going to be enough?

2" you can most likely get away with, as long as you don't wheel it. If you wheel it you'll still need to trim a little.

how do you guys feel about the spacers up front that are 3 inches? I am not sure thats what I want to do, but I have thought about that and then a combination of add a leafs and shackles to get a mild lift on it. I like the look of flares and have a spare set off of a previous XJ that I painted black and was planning on using.

get a RE BB and you will be fine. im running a RE BB and a set of 245s on moabs and im not rubbing at all. im actually surprised how much space left in the fenders for flexing- not too much but surprisingly some. this is on a 95 so i have the larger fenders

Tj flare will work on an xj if you trim the frenders
