Default 33's on stock axles

Got a 2000 XJ sport. CAI w/ bored TB.
Stock axles-Dana 30 front, Ch 8.25"
3" front coils, 3.5" rear leafs with cut fenders

I want 33x10.5x15 KM2's and I assume they will fit width-wise because I'm running 31x10.5x10 tires now. But will my axles be able to handle it? How much power will I lose driving in the mountains? Is it worth it?

Well by cut fenders how much are they cut.

I know roughcountry only shows 32's fitting with a 4.5" lit so gues 33 wll rub with a litte lift unless really good trimiming.

i have a 3" lift on my jeep and when we test fit some 33's bfg a/t's they rubbed really bad so not sure how much you have trimmed.

Also you may have to remove you flares with only a 3" lift or the 33's will be shoved right into them when flexing.

Your axles will be able to handle it but you will notice a power loss going to 33's with stock gear ratios.

Going to 4.10's would get your power back bt going alittle higher then that would be better.


here's a pic of 1 with 33's and 4.5" lift
