Default Lift Question, Just got it all delivered

Just recieved my new 4.5 inch spring pack lift with 4 32x11.50 bfg mud terrains from rustys. i am going to be installing it soon but those tires look huge. are they to big to fit under the jeep even after i lift it? i had 285 75's on my old truck and these look bigger. i thought they were the equivelant to 33x11.50.

cool grats .. i just did the same lift did you do any upgrades? like adj lower control arms? i also went with 3in spring pack with 1.5 shackle.. everything went togather real nice .i did have to call them once for advice. oh also what are the plans for the anti sway bars? i had org ordered jks quicker discos with the lift but sent them back . do expect the rear to settle quite a bit . great flex ! and a pretty decent ride

Sweet thanks all.
to answer your question about the control arms and anti sway bars. i recieved new lower control arms in the kit. not sure if that answered that one but i would love to have quick disconect's on the sway bar. have not ordered that yet.

why did you send yours back.

also i got the 4.5" leafs. i am reusing my shackles. may change them out later. you think they will still settle. i want the jeep to stay level.
