88 cherokee chief
I have an 88 Cherokee chief 4.0 high output with a 5 speed. Seems pretty high and spaced for stock but I know it is stock. Can I fit 33's?

the cheif/upcountry package was 1" over a stock package XJ. You should be able to fit 30s without issue. 33s will require a minimum of 3" lift and a large amount of trimming

After seeing that pic, I'm glad I live in Arizona and drive rust-free Jeeps!!
I still remember what cars looked like back there when I was a kid.

It still looks to me as it should fit 33s. It looks nothing like crbnfibr. Mine is higher and spacier it seems to me. I could be wrong I guesd

It wont fit. I tried them on a 3" lift with no trimming and tore up my fender flares. I'll make em fit soon enough but they wont fit with 1" I have an up country as well.
