Im on 33's and 4.5 and im cut and bumpstopped and still rub occasionally. If people Say you dont need to trim to fit a lift/tire size combo like that then they only mall crawl. I use to have 31's on 4.5" and STILL rubbed the inner fender well when stuffed.

Agreed, 4.5" on 31x10.5 (stock rims), stock bumpstops and still rub at full flex.
The tire just touches each side of the rear flares, but up front is where it really rubs the inside of the fender.

You know you own an XJ when you walk into a parts store and you start describing make/model/year and you premptively say "not the GRAND", just regular Cherokee".

33s on 5" lift. Heavily trimmed and bumpstopped and the drivers rear and passenger front are both still touching the fender. Need a little more bumpstop I guess. I also need longarms to fix my puny short arm flex
