Default what size lift for 33s

just curious what the least amount of lift i can get away with is to run 33s on a 91 xj. i am plannin on cuttin the fenders but didnt know if a 3inch would work or if i had to go 4.5.

4.5 would fit more comfortably, 33 inch is doable with some fender trimming.

that was supposed to say a 3" is doable with fender trimming, lots of guys on here have done that. i would say go with the 4.5 though. just my opinion.
