can i clear 35s with a 4.5" lift and spacers up front? how much leaf do i need in the back?

thanks
Mike

 

with trimmin you should be able to fit 35's with a 4.5 inch lift

 

just run the 4.5 and trim your fenders to fit the 35s

 

thanks guys

 

isnt there only a couple hundred dollar difference between the 4.5 and 6.5?

 

its all about LCG-low center of gravity =]

Post pictures when you get it done

 

x2!

 

cutoff blades for a grinder are cheaper, i have 33's on my 4.5" lift and I could easily fit 35's because I went a little crazy with the grinder

 

....bumpstop...

 

You can fit 35's, after I trimmed and beat in as much metal as I could. Rear was ok with commanche bumpstops. The front will need a ridiculous amount of bump stopping. When you flex it will rub on your floor boards.

 

Am I the only reader of Jeep mag?
They covered 4 1/2'' and 35's.

That was part of the reason I gave up on 35's, I think the best way to run 35's is extensive modification to your wheel wells. Otherwise the only benefit to 35's is the extra ground clearance.

 

They also had 40s on a 2.5 lift. But dude was nutty. 502s are not meant to fit in xjs

 

here's my friends thread about how he is trying to fit 35s on 4.5 inches of lift. http://www.expeditionportal.com/foru...ad.php?t=34180
although he doesnt want to bumpstop for some reason

 

You'll need to add large bump stops and do some sheet metal trimming to run it well... As what they did on Jeep mag...
