33's with stock gears?
I have a 95 xj with a 4.5" lift and stock gears. I want to run 33's but im not sure if I need to upgrade my gears or not.

It would be best to upgrade to 4.56 or 4.88 but a lot of people run them on stock gears. If you don't upgrade gears I'd recommend a tranny cooler to help keep the trans happy

Put gears in it! Im running 33s with stock 3.55 gears. And I hate it! I will be putting in gears as soon as I get the money. And 32s are no better to me.

If your worried about cost I got a set of 4.11s out of a 4 cyl Cherokee and it was only $200 for ring, pinion and hs carriers.
