okay so what about if you were to buy the rough country 4 inch lift and then put 2 inch spacers... would you necessarily need it? also rc says 31's will fit with the 4 inch lift but other lift companys say 33's will fit their 4.5 inch lift? could you fit 33's on a 4 inch with trimming?

I have a ZJ with a 4.5 lift running 31 did not have to change driveline probally could run 33s if you leave the sway bar hooked up or just trim

4.5" lift you can fix 33s. 4" is coming vary close but it can be done just in the rear with out triming your almost touching the fender.
