I'm at around 2" of lift and im running 33" tires. I can flex pretty damn good but I do need to bumpstop better so my ZJ so my rear tires stop hitting my fenderwells, or i just cut more of my jeep up lol sean knows that my jeep has "gently massaged" wheel wells.

NO bump stops don't limit your travel at all in fact they help your travel by forcing the axle to go farther down than it normally would. all they limit is stuff.

running 33s on my setup I can show you how the rear wheel wells are perfect for them and the fronts just need a little massaging to be the same its really all about backspacing when you are trying to fit tires where they dont belong. I wish i Had pictures of the wheel wells straight on but these ones a friend too of his toy will have to do for now (don't mind the lack of front flex, thats what having 2in lift shocks gets you lol)

Dont get me wrong, its kind of cool when your tires stick out past the body line, but like I said...I like em clean, and hardly anyone does it right.

p.s. I am NOT willing to get rock rash on my Jeep.

But I also look at Cherokees as expendable. when mine is done I simply buy a another sub-thousand dollar one and bolt/weld my stuff to it.
