Installed a Rough Country adjustable rear shackle relocation kit today. With the shackle installed in the middle hole it gave my Cherokee a 2” lift. Now I need a front spacer and 33’s!!!

Looks really good but I'm not sure your going to get 33s to clear and even if you do you will have no room with any flex. Or are you going to cut and fold your fenders?

I plan on cutting and rolling the fenders and building a set of Rusty’s style tube fenders for more clearance.

Thanks, I plan on cleaning up some of the welds today. One of the guys at one of my accounts builds buggy frames on the side and gave me some pointers on my welds.
