Default pic request

does anyone have a picture of a XJ with 3 inch coil lift/spring pack, 32 x 11.50 and trimmed fenders both front and cut and folded rear?

and yes I looked for hours on the lift thread and didn't see exactly what I was looking for.

I have trimmed my fenders and I want 3" and 32's on a 15x8 BS'ed wheel. done my research and I think it will fit. just want a pic of something similar thanks Kyle.

I understand not having the money to go bigger as that's where I was at when I got my 3" but I wish I would have saved up to go bigger! My xj already had a 2" puck & shackle setup, so I ended up with 5" total that would be the way to go if money is tight!!!!

3" is a good setup to run 32's and 33's but it comes at a price. You have to trim pretty good. The low center of gravity and more clearance from taller tires is a smart way to build up your rig.

Most people run 33's at 4.5" but it's do-able at 3".

That's my reason for not wanting to lift more. I'm at 3" now and am willing to trim, but am still trying to decide what to do to squeeze 34x10.50s in w/my 15x7" wheels.

You can run them but you gotta be ready to bumpstop it alot. What backspacing are those wheels?

4" backspacing. I'm thinking that will probably give me the best shot. I may have to lift 1-2" more, but am hoping 1" will do.

Oh btw, is 3.75" backspacing good for the 15x8' on 32's x 11.50?
