Questions about spacers and shackles.
Greetings! I have a question about coil spacers and rear shackles and was hoping on insight before I buy anything. I currently have a 3' suspension lift in the '01 XJ. The lift included leafs, coils, shocks, track bar, arms, and a stabilizer. Everything else is still stock. I currently have 31 x 10.5 tires on that rub slightly when you cut the wheel all the way. Even so, I've been itching to get 33's. And I figure shackles and spacers would be a cheap way to do it. However I was curious if they would be enough to fit a set of 33's without having to chop up my fenders. I was also wondering if I would have to change any other parts due to the added height. Any input or recommended products would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

This topic has been discussed ad nauseam, but I'll bite. To fit 33's without trimming you'll need another 1.5" or so, and then you'll start running into angle issues and vibrations. It'll get expensive and awesome. Have fun!
