thats the same combo im gonna be getting here shortly, i figure if i can fit 31's on a stock lift, i should have no problem with 33's on a 4.5" lift. if it makes any difference i had 34x9.5 superswampers on my old jeep with a 4" lift with minimal fender trimming. i couldnt flex the truck out much, and i couldnt turn the wheel all the way, but they fit

Heres mine with 33s and 4.5. I did trim alot but did so to fit 35s. With proper bumpstoping and some minimal trimming you should have no problems. However think of gearing, it my be your only problem. I lost power and mpgs. More worried about mpgs. Its my DD.

I guess it's possible, then again, that one guy here had 35's on a 1.5" lift. Looked a bit awkward but awesome at the same time. Anything's possible..

I have a total of 4.5" of lift with 33's and they rub when flexed but under normal street use no problems. Just plan to re-gear some day when you can afford to.

I have 6 inches of lift and just installed 33s. The front tires rub BADLY at full stuff. I am currently in work on trimming as much as I can without removing the OEM flares. The local Badgeflashers love to write tickets for tires outside the flares. So, I am going to trim as much as I can and then if they still rub too much I'll get extended bumpstops. Trying to aviod this as I feel it kills flex. I'll post pics when done.
