Wanting to get rid of my 15" wheels for 16" and give the Treadwright Guard Dogs a go.
Here's mine 33x12.50r16 on 4 inches. Just wanted to see what they'd look like. Gonna get new tires and powder coat the rims Gunmetal. Definately NEED wheel spacers! Lol

Hey guys! I have an opportunity to get 17" 5x5 Rubicon wheels for my 99xj which I will have to run with an 1.25" adaptor. I am running 3" of lift. Will these fit with the OEM Rubicon tires on them?

What company would be recommended that has 4.5" lifts that would best be suited for DD'ing and highway miles with some light off-roading? Thinking of getting a 4.5 over a 3 or 3.5 so i can clear 32's without a problem

Noob here. I'm Trying to decide between an xj or a wj. I'll use it for a dd but it's only 3 miles to work. The only long distances I'll be taking it is to wheel. The plan is to go big early. I'll run 33's and want plenty of room in the well. I'm more concerned with offload performance than on road but I don't want a death trap on the highway either. From just looking it seems that I need to go 6.5 to get the travel that I want. Can't find many kits that big for the wj. Looking at 96's.
Thanks!

First of all, they didn't make wj's in 96 so you are probably thinking of a zj. A zj won't have as many options as an xj will. You will be able to find lifts and add ons easier for an xj.

Thanks for the correction. It may take a while to learn the subtle nuances. Thanks for the input!

Adjust your steering stops, and they won't rub.

No problem, but if you are wanting to do alot of hardcore wheeling, you might want to shop around for an xj, just because parts and add ons are more available it seems like. It's all up to you though
