How big of a lift would I need to run 33 in tires

 

I had 4.5 on mine and had no problems after a little trimming them rubbed while flexing before the trim

 

3" with trimming, 6.5" without. Though I have seen people trim enough at stock height to run them, you would have to cut into the pinch seam in the rear to get it to work on a stock jeep.

 

Well I frying a 4.5 long arm lift and I wanna run 33 without trimming

 

im at 4-4.5 inches and can run 33's no problem with trimming. just remember... bump stops!

 

How much did u have to trim

 

i removed the flares trimmed the front fenders so they were flush with the side (looking from front to back) and trimmed my bumper end caps to match. then i cut into the pinch seam about an inch and folded the tabs over and also trimmed the rear bumper end caps to match. just don't forget bump stops. without them you'll scrub the inside top of the front fender as well as the front part of the rear fender...

 

Are the stock bump stops ok

 

negative. not after lifting that high. u'll need hockey pucks in the front or like mine a 12" circumference (soft) soft ball. not the hard ones. and extended bump stops in the back also...


notice the bright green/yellow ball in my coils...

 

So just stick some tennis ***** in the bottom of the coils. Nice rig by the way

 

well i don't know about tennis ***** but u get the point. just search on here for different ideas. just as long as its functional i don't think it matters. and thanks man, its a work in progress...
