Post Came across a sweet deal on wheels!

Ok I found some 36 super swampers with rims Cheap and in good shape. I guess this guy needs $$ real bad. Just my question will they fit on my xj with 6.5 lift? or am I gonna have to cut alot of sheet metal?

if you bumpstop, you should be pretty much ok with the typical trimming, but if you want all the flex you can get, lots, and i mean lots of cutting.

i'm running 36 inch iroks with 8 inch longarms, and i had to cut the front fenders up above the body line so they don't rub at full flex.
the rear is still ok with my bushwackers on. but that's gonna change soon too.

you're gonna want to upgrade your steering links as well as brace your steering box with those big meats tho. i've bent many draglinks untill i upgraded.
