Your new Jeep, Is a ZJ.

pick up a 4" lift from rough country. throw some 33"s on it.

what model ZJ do you have? is it a leredo or a limited? 5.2 v8, or 4.0liter Strait 6?

What are the biggest tires that can fit under it without a lift?

Nstyfox

i dont even think you can fit a 31 with out lifting a zj,if you dont want to spend the $$ on a big lift atleast do a budget spacer 2in lift

XJ?2010

Go this route you will be happier and then you can move on to other things

I have a 97 ZJ, no lift (yet) and I put 30x950/15 BFG M/T on it and it only rubs on maxed out turns a little bit. makes the GC look mean and doesn't compromise ride quality like a 4' lift will. If you are going to use it as a daily driver the 30x950's and a 2" Budget boost lift is the way to go. good in the trails and smooth on the road.

33's will NOT fit a ZJ with 4.5" lift.

Not with out alot of trimming and bump stops.

Or you can do 4.5" lift with Icelandic Fender flares and 33's..

bull crap you can fit 33s on a zj with 4.5" of lift trimm a little bit and ask me how i know.

wtf do those crappy flares have to do with him fitting 33s on?

nick_n_ii

There the only cut out flare for a Zj.

And I know it takes ALOT of trimming to clear 33's on a ZJ cause I had one.

what you are going to? also it depends on how much $$$$$$ are you willing to pay, and if its going to be you DD and how much offroad will it see, if you just want to fit 31" and just a bit wheelin use a 2" BB, and of course, bigger tires, bigger lift, more money, a good and balanced lift suspension for wheelin is the 4" or 4.5, again, it depends what you want to do with your GC
as always if you want to play yo have to pay.....

you can also do a front to back coil swap with zj v8 coils and a spacer up front. then you can run 31's with some trimming.

but to run 33's is a little more difficult to run them without rubbing.

well, i know a ZJ with 6.5" will fit 35"s with minor trimming. so i would assume 2" less would fit 2" less of tire.

Its also good to state tires size fitment has alot to do with wheel backspacing!

i have a 3" lift & 32's on mine............only VERY minor rubbing on full flex!!

& it looks the dogs!!!!

I have a 98 jz lifted 3" SKYJAKER, AND 33/12.5/15 PROCOMPT MUD TERRAIN..

IT WILL FIT BUT LIKE SAID ...THER'S ALOT OF WORK AND TRIMMING.. FENDER 1" ALL CORNER'S,PLUS MORE TO THE FRONT BUMBER.. CUTTING GRINDING HAMMERING INSIDE THE FRONT WELL.FOR THE REAR JUSTE CUTTING THE FENDER WORKS. BUT BETWEEN THE BODY AND TIRE INSIDE IT'S CLOSE

ALSO HAVE 1" WEELS SPACER.

AT FULL FLEX NO RUBING AT ALL....

AFTER ALLE DONE . I DONT REGRET IT AT ALL ...

THER'S A PIC WITH THE 33" AND ALL JOB DONE....HAVE FUN!!!!!!
