Most are used off road because of the great platform, wheelbase and width plus carry 5 and cargo.

Default Can really see the lift in that photo

5.5" Full leaf & coil short arm lift ?
or did you add 2" boost to a 3" lift & add bump stops up front to keep shock from bottoming out ?

Did you level it with shackles, blocks, spacers ?
Photos make xj seems higher up front. Or is rear leaf starting to sag ?

No lift photos in your album .

Found steel blue XJ, i want to lose the stock security guard look.

33x12.50 Duratracs at Walmart , Goodyear $80 rebate mail in, oddly it is same price as tire rack shipped.

With black 15x8 3.75Pro Comp steelies, the Duratrac white out contrast is nice look

Some vendors selling the Pro Comp 15x8 set for $99 if you buy their tires, yet these sponsors & vendors still can't compete with Rack or Walmart even with free shipping they want at least $150 more

Now i know why vendors don't troll on Jeep forums, at least TJ & XJ section. Because they would get owned by shoppers that reply with bunch of website links to better deals they can't compete with.

Here is my Jeep right after I added the 33s. This was on a 3 inch lift.

You can tell by the fenders in this picture I needed more bumpstop. Fenders took a beating even though I cut a ton of them out.

Almost done putting on my new RE 4.5
