Not sure if your familier with mallcrawlin.com but the whole forum is pretty much dedicated to zj's.. one guy gets decent flex with 3.5 inch lift on 35's after i saw his thread i figure why cant i do 5 inch with 35s also go berserk flares are getting ordered this Friday when i get my tax money they really open the fenders up prob 2 more inches than what you see on mine iv had 6 jeeps 3 xjs built up and wouldn't trade my zj for one any day!
Yes, you answered my question - thanks. I would lock front and rear, so maybe it would work out good off-road. I'll ck out that site, and see what I can learn. I've also seen a few guys w/xjs running 35x12.50 on 3.5 and trimming. My last xj was 34x10.50 on 4.5. Lots of flex and no rubbing w/stock bumpstops. Going w/a 10.50 tire helps a lot.

if you put your cladding on it'll cover the dent right up
other than that it looks good so far. I've thought about putting 4.5" springs on my ZJ

Got front two on need to trim a little in the back, before i put back two on and need a alliment like no other it is bad! but whenever i get time ill get all this taken care of for now it will sit for a couple days as is the springs are alot more bigger in diameter wise and the back 33s are rubbing the hell out of the coil spring but the 35s wheels have a nice offset which will fix that. And as far as this camber what can i do about that? the only thing that would change the camber is the knuckle right.. need some info on this

Is it just the light or do you have a negative camber ?
looking good tho! time for those adjustable control arms tho
