I did a 4.5" BDS lift on my 97 with 33 x 12.50 and had to trim a lot on the bumper end caps, basically all the way off. Also very minor trimming at the rear bottom of the front flare. I think it looks great they just stick out a little farther than I would like but flat flares will be fixing that soon enough.

I have the exact same tires (Truxus Mt's 34x12.5) on my Cherokee with about a 4inch lift and some fender/bumper cap trimming front and rear:




The only problems I currently have are when I crank the wheel, my tires will touch my lower control arms a bit but isn't that bad. (the tire in the flex pic is almost touching the fender, but not quite.. although alittle more bumpstop would help).
