just looked at your profile pics of your jeep.. i can see why you are rubbing lol. thats a decent offset for the lift you have. might got 3.5 and trim lightly. it would look like hell if you cut it as is. there would be alot of metal missing!

Pull them all. Inner fender wells, flares and all the crap under the motor. Go with this if you have the cash. Same one I have and I added 2in spacers and S-10 bastard pack and now have 5in for under $300. I've had mine in for going on 3 years now and this combo works awesome. I had to do a TC drop but that was it. Might I add that I beat my Jeep really hard on all types of trails and not one fail from this set up. Also, don't mind these guys on here. They think it's cool to make fun of people because they are'nt as smart as they are. It's getting really old guys. I understood what he said without punctuation and I'm sure you did too!

You have to remove the shocks, sway bar links and thats it for the front. The rear is shocks and u-bolts. Put a c-clamp on the springs before you pull the u-bolts. The front you will need to have an extra floor jack so you can jack up one side of the axle to get the old spring out and the new spring in. I've never used compressors for this. If you jack up the axle high enough you won't need them. If you need more info I can get back to you tomorrow. I have to get to bed I have to work 3am to 3pm.
LOL

Seriously I would just trim the fenders. Then when you have the cash you can add a good lift and run it for a wile. Then with the lift and the trimming you can step right up to 35's. You need to think of what will help you down the road as to right now just like add a leafs NEVER buy those! I'm all about doing things your self and saving money. But if you can't swing 33'" tires then what is the point in lifting. If you lift with the same tires you will be no more capable then if you trim for free.
