The easiest way to put them on is use the search function. Seriously, if you even just scrolled down a couple pages you'd probably run into this same thread.

You will have to cut about to the body line on the front fenders, and the rear just cut and fold them and possibly get a 3 inch lift I doubt you will get 33s on it stock unless you cut alot off the fenders . like mine ^^, my tires still get in the fenders with a 3 inch lift and 33s but only at full droop like you see.

Just get you a 3"Budget lift for next to nothing. Keep the swaybars on for now and roll with it

Oh and extend your bump stops a few inches. Problem solved. Well the front fender still may need and inch cut off. Rear just barely at the plastic bumper covers.

Doesn't look like you have bump stops in the rear? or are they on the leaf pack? with a 3 in lift you should not rub at all if its got bump.

Install tires and cut and bumpstop accordingly. If you dont want to cut your XJ they will not work.

I like this one I found on Yahoo. Looks like it will work ok with the rear and front cut and fold and lots of bumpstopping.

It will work, you just have to bump stop it. Trim a bit in the front like said.

I have 2.5 in lift and I will be moving up to 35" tires in the future.

I have 33 x 10.5 x 15's on mine with a 3" lift and it rubbed a little on the front fender. I cut about 2 1/2" off the fender and I have no issues any more. Just need to cut and fold the rear. Also, I don't have any back spacing so that might have been the issue.
