not to mention you wouldnt be able to turn at all without tearing off your fender no matter how much you cut it, i guess you could completely take your front fenders off, but not sure what you could do for the back......

I have a 3" lift on my cherokee with dick cepek 31" and that is a good fit for a 3" lift I still dont have full turning radius i hve about 85% it rubs on my coils and makes a popping noise. what are you talking about XJ BONES theyll fit aslong as he doest drive it or go over bumps or have to turn or ever have functional flares again

by the way 34"super swampers, youre looking at 4.5-6" lift to fit those and neither are cheap. return the tires and run 30" thats big for stock but should fit

you like that 4.5? mine is still a commuter so 3" is all im interested in now but one day ill retire it and give it a 4.5-6" 3" lift with 31"'s is still a great match. I can crawl ove some great stuff and plow through snow banks but nothing like some of theese guys

Id say go for it. And in the end if it doesnt work, throw on a budget boost (shackles and coil spacer) and call it good.

Ive seen 33's work... I think you might be able to squeeze out the 34s

OMG ktmracer419, thats really nice! I dont know where you live and if you can drive it on the road, but here, in quebec city, if your tires are out of our car you cant drive it on road. I have a friend who have 33s and its out about 2'' and he got a ticket...

I would like to be in US just for that :P
