6in lift for 33s????
Call me crazy but I really don't see the need for that big of a lift to fit bigger tires. I kinda like the look of tucked tires and have gotten 33X12.50X15s to fit on 2 DIFFERENT JEEPS with absolutely 0 lift but contacting the body on hard turns and with 2 in front and 3 in rear contacting the body only if it bottoms out. I have street tires now but want 33s once I get gears and DEFINATELY want a long arm so I'm thinking 4.5 cuz I like to maintain my handling and lower center of gravity. I don't rock climb or anything so I don't really need the flex. Mud running and minor trail rides are my most extensive off road activities. Below is pics of my current XJ with 0 lift tucking 33s and a comparo pic of my 05 Z71 and the jeep with 2 in spacer/3 in shackle combo lift. Let me know if anyone has any opinions/input on my lift ideas. Remember this is my DD with a 60 mile daily commute

I dot't want help just opinions. I can stick the LS1 out of the TA in the background in this thing and make a 10 second hot rod if I want and ditch the whole lift idea but THAT'S a whole other set of opinions I'm not asking about at the moment

35s are pushing the stock XJ steering/suspension/subframe systems so I don't think I'll be going that big without some major mods. I just want it as big as my Chevy and not looking like a minivan
