Take the stock flares off and cut the fenders out a little bit then maybe do a budget lift and some nice 31s and you got a nice custom xj or save the money do a real spring lift then tires=badd a$$ xj lol

Thank you...I am currently still in highschool and working part time so money doesn't come that easy I already redid my system with 4 new speakers a new head unit and subs. I was planning to do a 6 inch lift and put it on 33's but in the meantime, I don't want it to look like a normal XJ.

Well if you decide to wheel it.. ditch the subs they wont be needed they'll just get in the way.. I have 1 sub in my jeep just for crisp sound and when I go wheelin I take it out ( its so little)..
And if you don't want it to look like everyone else's go put some after market off road lights on it buy a roof rack simple little stuff before you buy ur lift and tires...

Well see I live in Virginia Beach, Virginia so I got a Cherokee because I wanted a Jeep to take it on the beach but I didn't want a wrangler because they're too small so I got the XJ because it was exactly what I was looking for and now down where I live we can't drive on the beach but i make day trips to North Carolina and we setup on the beach all day I have the subs because You can hear them over the roar of the waves. I have the subs (2 10's) L bracketed down so they stay in place. Now I was thinking about getting a roof rack simply because my surf board is so long it hits the trunk when I open it and I like the look of it.

Growlly and Vibes on the breakfast run. For lunch a fresh u-Joint in the rear drive shaft (at differ end) again, Delco lasted 9months, 40000km, tried Precision this time round. The 3 degree shim block may help. Lubed everywhere. 90miles, 2.5 hours of ice road home. My innocent pup was waiting, wonder who's sock that was?

why on earth would you be running 50psi in the first place??? The number on the sidewall is the MAXIMUM pressure, and should not be used unless you have them fully loaded to capacity. OEM tires get inflated to the number on the doorjamb sticker (35 psi). Anything bigger with a stiffer sidewall you'll probably need to go lower to get a full contact patch.

My 33s I ran 45-50 psi wen I got my 31s they guy ran em at 25psi . But yea they r now at 32 and prob gonna b at 30psi before said and done with. I just wonder y all of sudden the bad wobble now? My 33s it never shaked or wobbled. I just figured they were so heavy u just couldnt tell with out shakin yhe front end down. The rims I have r lighter and plus lighter tire, but I gotta start with my hib assembly . Plan on redoing all shocks over next few weeks

it may be your hub assembly, but more likely one or more tires isn't correctly balanced.
