imo you need to regear with 33's I am stepping down to 31' until I can afford to do my gears and lockers. I am actually triing to sell those so I can buy the 31's. I hate to do it but it kills my mileage and and it takes an extra hour to get up to the ski resort. I have down shift to much for my liking.

Is it just me or does in the first picture the rear tire look smaller than the front? lol

Overall nice looking jeep man, gj!

But yea some slight cutting off the bottoms of the front and rear parts of the front fender will have to be done for full offroad effectiveness! lol

While your cutting why dont you hit the front real quick and ditch that plastic valance panel under the bumper and trim up the front of the fenders a little. Thats usually the first thing to go on my XJ's

Well it is a straight up budget 6 inch lift.... 4 inch coil springs and 4 inch leaf spring pack... I have forgotten where i orded them from....2 inch block and spacers. Quick disconnects up front and a brand new adjustable trac bar from rusty's upfront. Sky Jacker Nitro 8000 shocks all around.

Not a real notice loss in power although i am planning to regear or maybe even upgrade to different axle. Just have to find a job and then can do all that.

if u want to off road your going to have clearance probs, and at high speed you will be able to tell they arent balanced.. but if they are a good tire you might not need them balanced...

Thanks for the response. I forgot to mention that it looks good. I'm rebuilding a green 96 Sport that my dad wrecked slightly, can't beat the price though, free. Anyway, yours is similar to how I want mine to look eventually, at least the lift and tire size.
