A friend of mine is getting rid of his 33x10.5 BFGs for pretty cheap and I'm thinking about buying them from him.
I'm currently running 31x10.5s and not sure if they will work with my 3.5in lift. I would like to go bigger but don't really have time or money to try to make them work if they're going to rub. I have a 2000 cherokee sport.
So I was just wondering if anyone has tried 33s with a similar lift and set-up and looking to see if I can make 33s work with minimal effort.

Any advise or suggestions and pictures are welcome

Welcome to CF! Yes, you can run 33's on 3.5" without too much trimming. Like 99xj4dr said, pull the flares off, trim the fronts so that all the holes for the flare mounts are gone. On the rear, do a cut and fold (lots of cuts that are perpendicular to the curve of the wheel well, then use a rubber mallet to fold them underneath). Just be careful to not cut into the pinch weld. With proper bumpstops you won't rub at all.

I have a 3 inch with 31s.. to fit 33s i wont have to trim if i get aprx. 2 inch coil spacers and 1.5 inch shackles will i?

^^ If you run long enough bumpstops you won't need to, but if you're sticking with factory bumpstops you will.

5" and 33s will still rub w/out trimming if you don't adjust your bumstops and also depends on if you run 33x12, or 33x10.

i have 12.5s. i might be taking the stock flares off and making flares similar to the bushwaker flat series. http://image.jpmagazine.com/f/304841...ker_flares.jpg

Because those are way too expensive
