Whats the cheapest proper way i can do it with a suspension lift? what size should i go?
I fit 32x11.5 Mud terrain on a stock 99 cherokee. I had AR 15x8 w/3.75bs which caused no rubbing in the front, even at full lock. The rear would hit the wheel wells over bumps, partially because of reverse sag leafs. I also cut and folded the fenders. You can run 30s stock, but I would just get the 31s and tweek the suspension as needed, cut and fold fenders

My Leafs are sunk, I trimmed and have no problems with 31x10.50. Lift kit going on any day now so it won't matter soon...

A spray bomb paint job and she'd be good to go.

I took that Jeep in on trade from a guy that wanted and Explorer I had. I basically got the Jeep for free. I knocked 200 bucks off the price of the Exploder for the Jeep... I've never driven it. He backed it off the trailer and that's it.

The front is Silver because that's what I started doing... Spray bombing the whole thing.

Then I ran out of paint...

Ummm, I don't know how to explain it in words better than the picture shows.

Cut and fold rear and cut along the top of the factory flare in the front.
