Well right now i got a 1997 jeep cherokee 4x4 I bought a rough country 3 inch lift and last night my boss had a friend who was selling some 33/12.50/R15 super swamper tsl tires for $140 that had alot of tread left so i couldnt pass that deal up....The questions are! Will they fit with a 3 inch lift? will my jeeps gas milage drop by alot? idk much about this stuff or what to expect....so please shoot me some info thanks guys.

Yes they will fit, but you will have to pull your flares off and trim a lot of the fenders (there are many many write-ups on this if you search this site). Also, your gas mileage is going to drop a lot. I went to 33's on stock gears (3.55, I have an auto) and my mileage went from 21 avg to around 14avg...good mix of city and highway.

itll fit,i have a 3" lift on mine and trimmed fenders,i have enough room for 33's i just got to get the 33's lol but itll rub a lil bit but look awesome

I have tires that measure 33 1/4" no rub here, tons and tons of trimming though

Hmmm so if i was to put 4:10 gears in would that put me back up to 20 mpg?

xjmuddigger

4.10s will help improve mpg greatly

Well i need to do a tune up anyways in order to get better fuel milage but i am going to look into how much it will cost to put 4:10 front and rear.

xjmuddigger

gears aint cheap at all and aint all that easy to install either but its a good thing to do

IMO, if your gonna spend the $ on gears go with 4.56's.

If you're auto go at least 4.56 for those 33s
