Does anyone think a 4.5in lift looks stupid on the XJ when it only has 31s on it? Can someone post pictures maybe. I was considering a 3in procomp but apparently its not 3in all the way around. I head that its actually 2in in the back

 

if you've got plans to get 33's or bigger later then yeah get the 4.5
if you're going to stick with 31's forever get a 3" lift

 

A few of mine with 4.5 rustys with 31s

 

Nice trail rig you got there. If i put 33s on my jeep wont I need to change the gears in it as well?

 

I run a 4.5 with 33s and stock gears as my dd. Not really a huge diff. I can still do 75 on the highway too.

 

Thank you. Yes going to 33s changing gears may be a good idea. I'm running stock but will soon be going to 4:56 that are coming out of a buddies cherokee

 

Will the 4.5in on 31s still look stupid with no trimming and stock fenders?

 

Mine 4.5 RE on 31's eventually ill go 33's but for now ill enjoy my gas mileage as it is.

 

I think 4.5 and 31s look better with the fender flairs on that's my 2 cents. Any bigger then 33s look good with fenders chopped

See that looks good ^^^. What % are your windows tinted?

 

Yeah the ones with the fenders on it look really good. With them off they some what look like they need bigger tires. But a jeep is awesome period

 

without them the tires stick out more and it gives a more aggressive look imo. If you look at my rig only reason why I trimmed the front and left the back is because my rear end sits higher than my front so I wanted to kind of even it out. When I put 33's ill trim the rear fenders as well.

 

i like the 33 just because it doesnt look awkward haha

 

least amount of lift you can get away with to run the largest size of tire you're going to run. End of story. Don't go 3" and decide you're gonna add blocks and spacers later, just get what you want to end up with. 4.5" with 33's is great. I'm currently on 4.5" and 31's, will be 4.5" on 35's in november.
