I run a 4.5" RE lift and currently 33x1250's. I wouldn't hesitate to run 35's on my setup. If you properly bumpstop and trim accordingly (which I had to do for 33's anyway) then you'll be fine.

 

Flex pics please
I have only seen you when you have gotten air on your xj as far as pics go.
Now compare that amount of clearence with mine, I got 4.5" Rough Country and I am running 31" and I still bend my fenders when I go wheeling.



and this is my flex before I cut my fenders





so the question is how much flex do you want? Or which is best for you? I am just offering a different opinion

 

How're your bumpstops gearheadette?

Here's my rig (4.5" and 33's) pretty stuffed, no fender rubbing, proper bumps stops. I'd do 35's with this setup, and extend the bumpstops a little more and not have many issues. The trimming isn't crazy.

 

4" and 35's

1200 rti front

1186 rti rear






2.5" and 37's

 

I dont have any flex pics yet, after this weekend I will~

 

Ktm, what kind of springs were you running?

 

i have run many

my favorites are tomken 3" coils and a rubicon express bastard pack (a couple sagged re packs) all of a re 3.5" pack and a couple re 4.5" leaves

 

Are you being a smart alack from what happened last wheeling trip?
or is that a real question? and If it is, why?



KTM, How come you have better flex than me and you dont have your fenders cut that high?

 

Full widths, they help a lot. and i think he just has a damn good setup lol

 

Not being a smart alack at all, I have no idea what happened on your last time out

I was asking how much bumpstopping you have for the amount of lift that you have. If you haven't properly set your bumpstops then your axle is going to continue to stuff up into your wheel well regardless if you're running 31's or 33's. It looks like your 31's stuff really far up into your wheel wells from the pictures that you posted, to the point that they look like they rub your fenders, especially if your wheels are turned.

 

They actually measure just a tad over 9 3/4". Might as well make it 10".

Thanks for the pics of the ones with 35's on em' guys. Im going to attempt it with 35's...worst it will do is not work and I have to buy some 33's ??. Also Trapper...me not "rompin" on it probly aint goin to happen. Ive got a tendency to break some **** and be heavy on the carnage factor.

 

I want it to flex as far as they can, I want more flex, not less

GOOD LUCK!!

Rubbing your fenders from too much compression will usually stop you from going up that ramp any further, right? with bumpstops to stop the compression just before the tire hits the fender you can continue to go up that ramp as long as your other tire continues to droop. Bump stops, long arms, longer travel shocks, longer brake lines, limiting straps, less restrictive steering and track bar setup = mad flex

 

good read
