Lift Kit: 4.5 OR 6.5? Now, I am running 33x12.50's I don't wanna hack up my fenders too much, and I want zero rubbing. I mean if I knew what ghetto lift was on it now I'd know where to go. But I'm so back n forth -.- haha!

On the plus side, the girlfriend had a blast! She now wants an XJ! Give me a follow on Instagram! Unexpectedmia
Best way to stop crunching your fenders is to bump stop your lift...someone on here were selling some bump stops a few days ago

This trail at the beginning of that horrible long strip to the open field is to the left in the beginning...it may not look like much considering that there is garbage but once you go around the garbage it's all smooth terrain till about 3/4 way then the rugged terrain till you get to the open field

Backspaced wheels? I don't have spacers haha, and nope I don't have a "lift" just blocks in the rear and Air shocks all around.

Awe hell yeah man! As much as I like taking pictures, I usually never get action shots so these are great!

We'll have to plan our next wheeling trip soon.

You do have wheels with a wider stance though. So I creeped around your build thread and I swear man, the XJ I saw this morning was this:

By any chance does any one have the link for the control arm length determining the lift siZe?
