How wide are those 33s because you may have to trim the front plastic bumper caps if they are wider. Notice mine are trimmed in the PIC

I'm putting them on in the morning but I think I may have to cut the fenders Cuz I have a 93 Cherokee so first gen body. You have 2nd Gen body so your stock fender flares don't go as far down in the front as mine does.

But what's your opinion? Think the 33s will fit?

Just got to have a steady hand. When I helped my friend put his 37s on we cut right along the top stock fender flares so we had a nice clean area to cut but once you get to the bumper if it is necessary to cut then that's all on you lol
