I think if your going with pintlers and with the clean look you have going, the flats would go very well with your rig. If you have that extra $450+ laying around

Hey y'all. What do you think of just getting 33's and keeping the stock flares with a new 4.5 inch lift kit.

Just curious as to why you'd change lift kits? Aren't you at 4.5" right now?

I have an old Tomken, its rusted and sits more at a 3.5 than 4.5.

I feel like I should keep my current lift, but replace certain parts. I will talk to my mechanic, and see what I can do. I am ordering a new sub for the cubby hole, and Im still debating on the stock flares vs flats. Heres a pic from last weekend of my friends xj next to mine:

Replace what you have to on your lift, put the money for the flats into some long arms, and tuck some 33"s under there.

I'd say there are other things you could do with the money that would benefit your jeep much more. But, as always, its your jeep

I bit off topic here.. but right now I want to go to Ole Miss for college. On my first visit to Oxford, the very first thing to catch my eye was this gem: I guess it was a sign!
