High you guys I am wanting to know how much lift I would need to clear 33-10.50! I have a 1.75 coil spacers in the front and a add a leaf and shackle in the rear! I was waundering if I were to add a tuff country 3.5 lift (with new leafs) It would be enough to clear them? and also would I run into any probs putiing the two lifts together like that it would put me at around 5 inchs in the front! for the rear I would keep the shackle and ditch the aal! so what do you guys think? oh yah my wheels are 15x8 with 3.75 bs!

didnt realize yours was an older style so disregard the "bumper cap" statements. but yes it would look good if you trim it flush with the light

It will definitely look ok.
Here's a few pics of mine:

Here's some crappy pics I just took. You're going to have a gap in there, but still looks good, and I got major clearance for the 34s. Remember to cut and fold the rear.

if you trim your fenders you will have plenty of clearence like posted above. here is your exact same tire size you are asking about:

4.5" lift in the rear in this picture:

and an overall 4.5" lift with 33 x 10.5's:

the issue you willl run into if you do not trim is bending your fenders and slicing your tires:

My fenders sit flush against the body, they are just moved up about 2", and so there is that gap where the body line is. I also had to trim off the bottom of the flare where it curves under the body.
96_xj doesn't look like he had to trim the bottom end off, but his flares aren't sitting as flush.
