with 4.5" and 31's you're gonna want good bump stops. Doesn't matter what size tire you go with. if you want to be able to droop farther for more flex the opposite side is gonne have to be stopped before it hits the wheel well, trimmed or not.

You can run the 35s, and if your in a state that requires fender coverage, then I would suggest these fender flares. The company claims you can run 35s with just a 4 inch lift. They're a little pricey I think but they have gotten pretty good reviews, and they look decent too in my opinion.icelandoffroad.com/CherokeeXJ/XJFenderFlares/tabid/1951/language/en-US/Default.aspx

holy crap $465! those look really good but ive had years in the boat building industry. I might make up a mold based on the stock fender, and add some design to it & with and pour in some melted hdpe presto! or fiberglass but that will crack easy.
