I think that's tennesseexj's rig. I'll double check on his name. He has a page where he runs 33's/35's/31's with certain amounts of lift. I'm pretty sure he's running 35's in that picture.

Edit: I can't spell his name, or the state.

well as you can see his rear is flexing so his front is down closer to the tire than normal. from the looks of it though i would probably say 4.5 -5 with 35-36? its tough to tell with the way hes flexed. i think if you want the big tire little lift look, without hacking fenders like crazy and spending money on regearing and whatnot, you should really think about 2 - 3" with 33's,i think you would be happy with the look of 3" with 33's. im going 4.5 - 5" with 32"s. i might even keep the 31's to look taller lol

He has 5" of lift running 35's-37's. His profile says 37's but most of his pictures are 35's.

1st thank you very much for showing me his rig better.I've always admired it.
2nd Do you think you could lower his jeep 2 inches and still run those tires at the very bottom of the 1st post.

well, with the amount his fenders are cut more than likely lol. im just curious, you do know that you are going to have to regear if you want to put 35"s on right?

Here's my plan. I'm a high school grad going to college next year. Unfortunaelty, I have no money. I will want to run 35's eventually but I don't want to lift my rig anymore. The most lift I would ever go is 4.5", and even then I'd try running the largest size possible. I run 33's on 3" of lift and I don't rub on the trails, only a little when making sharp turns. If I wanted to I could run 35's. If your rig is for road only, why do you need 35's?

Edit: You run some trails I read.

yeah, the bigger tires no matter the lift is gonna cost some coin. its your cherokee you could lift it a foot and put 27's on it if you wanted, im just trying to understand what youre going to get out of what you want to do..im not trying to be a jerk at all, im just saying i lifted mine because i got stuck too much stock, same with the tires, i needed bigger tires for where i go. now, im still getting stuck with the guys i go with because they have over 4" of lift with 32"s or bigger. so i need to lift mine and get bigger tires in order to perform better where i wheel without spending a ton of money and at the same time keeping it safe for the road. if you just want it for looks and some off road use i would definately say go the cheaper way.. 2 inch budget boost with 33"s, wheel spacers and cut fenders. that way youre not breaking the bank, youre able to wheel in your area, and youll be pleased with the way it looks too

I do run mismatches. I got them for free so I figured I'd run em till I get a few more paychecks and can get some better tires. What can ya do.

i hear you. i got my wheels and tires on craigslist for $100. im waiting till i lift it more tho before i get new tires because i want to get either 32"s or 33"s. i dont like the way my heep would look with 3" and 33"s crammed into the cut fenders, but thats just me. im going 5" so itll be nice with either 32"s or 33"s. i could run 35"s if i really wanted with the amount my fenders are cut but i dont need to go that big.
