33 Baja claws even wear, but one has some sidewall cuts from where the guy before me didn't trim his fenders

Yes we are neighbors and did not know it.
When I was taking to your step father I did not realize you we're down sizing your tire size

Actually thats was my biological father and ya i want more fender clearance and dont have the lift needed for 31s I compared my xj to a guys here in town that had a 3in lift and 31s and noticed mine site about an inch lower. Least I figured out why I scrub so bad.... I ordered a nice set of pro comp a/ts till I can afford a bigger lift for 33s

Ah sorry about that. Well why don't you cut your fenders and put some Busch wackers on there. The xj in my garage has 4" RC lift, on 32" mud rovers. Still needed fenders cut in front for flex clearance

That won't look good...
You can be at 4.5 and not cut, it's called bump stopping. Limit the up travel to stop the collision.
I'm sure you could bump what you have and not scrub anymore.
But that's my opinion.
Ill stay at 3" and be running 35" tires... Soon...

If I did my fenders like matts it wouldnt be an issue. Iv just gotten "attached" to the way it looks stock lol maybe yall can talk me into chopping the fenders up again . Besides I dont see having this jeep on any serious off roading conditions. I want to get a jeep like yours and matts and make a trail rig out of it. Idk what Im actually gonna end up doing at the moment.

You don't need to cut crazy to make things fit.
You could still have stock flares after trimming.
