well not new to the xj so much as new to wheeling them...starting with a wrecked 99 i'm building a weekend rig/daily driver from low $$$$ job with pics as i go and info as well as asking questions along the way...

first big question.. how much lift does it take to CLEAR 33s i'm getting mixed answers on this i have plans to end up at about 6in lift but not right away i am currently at about 4-4.5in? and am running stock 15x8 rocky mountain wrangler wheels.

thanks

 

welcome to cf.from va.

 

welcome to CF...you can clear 33s with 4.5 inches and some trimming

 

im running 7" with 33's and my fenders are trimmed for flew reasons but if you dont have a lot of flex than a 4.5 with the same amount of trim will suffice

 

thanks for the warm welcome and advice i gots 31in swampers i took off a wrangler i had i'll stick with them for now till i go up i'm a big fan of clearance... pics are up of it so far feel free to let me know what you guys think

 

your gonna want to trim out the fenders heres mine with trimmed fenders like i said before im at 7" and 33's i have since trimmed the little flair off and at the time of this pic it was sittin at 8" of lift this is flex before i fixed the springs they were not on the perch's correctly and dropped it an inch now i can tuck the tire into the fender well and the purple is gone it now is truck bed coated
