I have been building my xj according to the gospel of ktm racer...and lunghd.com so far 4" lift 35x12.5. In my opinion it can be done.

Since someone mentioned something about the backspacing of the wheel, i have a question. I am thinking about running 33x12.5 or 33x13.5's on my jeep. It has a 3in lift already, but what kind of backspacing would be best? Ive checked out a set of cragar soft 8's with a 4in backspacing and a 4 1/4 in backspacing. I know i will have to do some trimming that is not a big deal to me though. But how much backspacing would be best?

we don't rub, we don't have a lack of flex and we can all turn just fine.

also currently runnin 3" with 33's, flexes good and once i trimmed and set it up correctly, with the right bump stops it doesnt rub.
