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 already have the bumper caps taken off and might take off the stock fender flares

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.

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
