I thought there was a thread on this, but I can't find it. I am doing the same thing this weekend with any luck.

 

Here are some before and after shots of my current project. After I trimmed the fenders, I had enough room to fit my 31's under it without a lift. I'm not sure of the backspacing of the rubicon wheels though. Mine are off a sahara edition, TJ.
If you are planning on doing some crawling, I would suggest cutting more than I did to fit those tires. I left a lip, so I trimmed (using a jigsaw with a good metal blade) about an inch and a half down from the very top of the pre existing stock flares.

 

Thats a really clean looking XJ you got there. You said you're running 31s on stock sahara wheels with 0" lift? looks good

 

have a look in here https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f59/fi...-3-lift-41158/ i just done mine so i could fit 33s with 3" lift ..-24 offset rims and tj flares cut down...

 

Affirmative. I was running 32's on my old jeep with Rusty's 3", and was planning on going up to 33x10.5's. So I figured, if I could run 33's on a 3", then 31's with no lift should work.

 

good luck hopeful today me and my cousin can do this and i can got to bundy hill in mich. to play on saterday time will tell all they say good luck, Ric

 

hey 91xj mudman i just put 30.5 on my stock 92xj they fit but not any clearance, mine needs some tlc rocker are gone so we are going to wield in 2x4 steel tubing in its place for rock slider plus i am going to fab bumper as well, than as soon as i find a job it up in the air we go!! not sure how tall i will go got to watch weight and balance i want to do some rock crawling

 

Here ya go, this is my old 94 with 3 inch lift, and 33x12.50x15s with the fenders trimmed.


and here are some of the same jeep but with 31s instead of 33s

 

just make sure you keep your bump stops adjusted =] if you get them rubbing on the fender they will slice your tires. (ask me how i know) and fold over your pinch seam in the inner fender well. this is 33" tires and 5.25" lift in the front 6.5" in the rear(playing on a little mound of dirt) clean looking jeeps everyone

 

I have a 1990 Cherokee 4.0L 4X4 and was going to put a set of 31X10 50s on it...will it fit? What do i need to do other than a lift to make it fit?

 

you dont need to lift it to make them fit. Well, as long as you are not afraid to cut some sheet metal

 

Are the splash guards put back in after cutting or just discarded? Gonna tackle this soon also.

Any tips on adjusting bumpstops for this NEWB?

 

I got into this over the weekend and removed all the junk. When I took off the wheel well liners up front I found a support bar coming from inside the body that was attached to the fender using the same bolts that held the fender trim. It's sucured to the body using rivets. Do I just cut this off?

 

yes, i just cut and removed the bar, also to answer your other question about the splash guards, i removed mine and threw it in the basement incase i ever need it, or someone else needs it.
