Hmm would be tight but I'd think possible with proper bump stops and fender trimming..Although I think I'd add an extra inch of lift and take it to around 5-5.5 of lift..

If you have 4.5" of lift then try the bumpstops and a little trimming. If that doesn't work for you then you can always add some spacers. But try the bumpstops first.

not a joke, thats what he runs. his old 91 was about 4" or less on those 37's and D44 front with a D60 rear. anything can be done with enough trimming and bumpstopping. i was going to run 35's on my 4.5" lift cause the 33's look tiny haha but i don't want to run em on a D30 so i'm sticking with 33's and might lower it a bit

It's possible. TnT has an XJ with 3" and 35's, you just have to trim and bumpstop it. In the rear they went past the spot welds and rewelded the quarter to the innerfender. It's looks very clean and and performs extremely well.

Why not go with 35s? Much more common tire size.. unless you really want 34s? But yeah it can be done.

yea but if you have too much bumpstoping doesnt that limit your flex a lot?

Some of you are lucky. I can't even fit 31's on a 3.5" lift.
