Default 32s with a 3" lift

How much trimming will be needed for mild trail flex?

Id do the same trim I did, about an inch and a half from the lip on the front, gives it a clean look.
The rear just cut and fold

32s with a 3" lift-image-2391812807.jpg Here's my XJ with 32s cut and fold front and rear I only rubbed on my lower control arm and inner fenders front and rear when flexing

I cut about an in off then cut and folded another inch for the front. While the rear I cut cut and folded the lip for the fender flare

3" lift from rough country. Been on for over a year and no issues with the 32s except for the rubbing of the lower control arm and inner fender wells

You'll probably want to regear with 33s and you may need new wheels or wheel spacers to clear your control arms just heads up

I myself was going to go for a 4" back spacing if I ever got new rims. Just take a look into it using the search on here and google to find what you want
