Sir that is a Sick xj you have there, you said 33s with 4.5" lift? It looks taller than that? Can you let me know what kinda kit you got, like what brandname? also i had heard anything bigger than a 3" lift you have to extend the brake lines and replace alot of other parts to handle it. Did you run into that?

I'm his buddy who is in his drive way pretty often working on our Jeeps. He can correct me if I'm wrong or confirm it, but he's at like 6.5/7''. He also only extended his rear lines. I think he might have used Dakotas.. not sure. That's what I used. His fronts are stock, just unbolted. And his XJ is even meaner in person. It looks sick. I'm going to be his guinea pig for his next set of tails. Can't wait.
