yeah, looks great IMHO.

this is JakeWI's xj



those were taken at the badlands. he's got an RC 4.5" lift with some 31x10.50's on it, and except for having the rear swaybar still on it, it flexes GREAT, with little to no rubbing, and it looks cool as hell.

I have 31's on a 4.5" lift, and it looks fine.

31's let you flex real nice, without trimming (not a fan of trimming)

Go for it

buddy runs a rustys 4.5 with 31" kumhos... doesnt look too bad and he isnt rubbing at all... id say it would look as goofy as a 3" lift with 30s.. no offense xjsport- cause the jeep looks fine that way. just saying it wouldnt be THAT bad

what did you ever do with your roof rack...

full coverage? thats expensive man, $85 a month here..and i have a girlfriend too, but we usually eat at my house or hers so neither of our parents ***** about not being able to see us ever.

roof rack is in my storage shed..i didnt really like the looks with it on and i didnt fit in the garage and with just a light bar now, ill fit even with 33s in the garage.

no my jeep isnt garaged, just if something breaks in the winter, i can have the garage for a couple of hours to fix it.
