I had 31" tires and right now im runnin my winter tires untill my 33 KM2's get in...
. Anyways i have my fenders cut and measured out to see if the 33s would fit. Everything should clear easily. I was just wondering if anyone has the same lift with 33s. I was looking and coil spaces and blocks and was wondering if it would be neccesary for me to get some to make a little more clearance with the large tires. Just looking for some input
Thanks

I was running 33s with a 3.5" lift a couple years ago. It did fine on the road but rubed quite a bit when flexed out. My fenders were cut and also my rear quarter panels were cut.

Alright thanks. Did you just add a spacer under your rear bump stops or do they make a kit where you can increase the height on them? I know on the front ill have to get new stops

I run a RE 3.5 with 2" spacer and 2" shackles for my 33's. The RE kits give more lift than advertised, I got about 4 1/2"s out of my 3.5" kit with leaf packs.
Here's my old XJ w/ a 3" procrap and 33" BFG's. It was cutout up to the pinch welds in the rear and cut out in the front. Definitely rubbed a bit when flexin' out wheelin but it wasn't too bad.
