Wink 33's With No Lift (Pics)

I got my 33's mounted last night. We did it in my Brother-In-Law's driveway haha. It only took about an hour. I just need to get the tires balanced now. The tires on the front are temporary until I can find two more baja claws. My next plan for it is to paint it OD green. It rubs the back a little but it hasn't rubbed at all up front yet. They're 33/12.50's. Rear sway bar is still hooked up. Sorry about the quality of the pics...They were taken with my cell phone...Here they are...

HAH! I did the same thing with my bumper end cap things. I see you still have the square bolt head things still connected to your rear bumper too. I am going to try to borrow a bolt cutter to get those off though

Haha I'm trimming the rear bumper soon so I had to take those off. I never could figure out how to get the damn thing out. I'm not worried about it though.

so i'd be careful If I was you. looks like those back tires are expensive and new. when my jeep was stock I had 29" tires on it. When I moved to Oregon, I loaded up a bunch of stuff into my rig and headed out with my dad on a road trip. I probably had 300 -400 lbs in it. every time we hit a medium bump or hill, my rear tires and sometimes front rubben on the flares and walls of the wells. my tires were cheap so it sucked but what ever. I put some deep cuts into the rubber and almost trashed them.

your fenders are chopped meaning sharp *** edges! i would seriously advise just getting like a cheap rugged country 3" lift. 4 shocks 2 front coils and a rear add a leaf in rear all for about 99$if you shop arround. forget painting it invest in something that you will need every day you drive your jeep. it will improve your turning radius aswell. also keep an eye on those fender quarter pannels to keep an eye on rust since water can get in now that its cut

props though, not baggin on it just helping thoughts

If it was my rig I would build bumpstops to limit uptravel, Comp cut the rear, and cut as HIgh as I could in the front. I did the dare to be different way of building. A 2" BB might do them tires some good.
