With a soon to be coming RC 4.5 x-Series lift what would be the best tire size? Anyone that has this lift and the 2 different size please tell me what it's like thanks!

cherokee_mud_digger

do you have a dana turdy5?

Jarrett

You'll probably have to trim/bumpstop for either size so might as well go with 33s.

Chuck82

I have no idea what I have I'm only 17 but if it helps mines a 99 Cherokee SE I know SE is only a trim package though

Puddin'

Go with 33's I got a 4.5 with 32's wish I had gotten 33's

Chuck82

That's a nice lookin Jeep you have I want mine like that! Did your Jeep come with that paint job?

cherokee_mud_digger

yeah put on 33's and if you snap an axle leaving a stop sign to fast its a 35 lol nah dont worry their tough little buggers if your nice enough to them

Learn more about your xj before you dive into thousands of dollars in lift and tires. Case in point, you should know what rear axle you're running.

Chuck82

How do you even tell what rear axel you're running? This is like the only thing that I'm not sure of

cherokee_mud_digger

exactly. dont screw yourself over with hard wheeling with oversize tires on a dana 35. here is what it looks like

Easily searchable on here, tons of threads. You are probably running a Chrysler 8.25 with 29 splines, but go look at pictures of the different axles and figure it out.

With a 4.5" lift you'll also need a SYE, a new rear driveshaft (junkyard or custom), and rear axle shims. Also extended brake lines, I'm not sure if the RC kits come with those.

When you go over 3" it's a whole new ball game.

Chuck82

Yeah I just checked my Rear Axel is Chrysler 8.25 and my front Axel is Dana 35 so does that mean for the rear axel I need a Dana 44 I think that's what it's called?

cherokee_mud_digger

your front axle is a dana 35???? is that possible?

Chuck82

Yeah I knew about the SYE I didn't know about the rear driveshaft or the rear axel shims yay more money!
