CLEAN XJ's 4.5" Lift on 32x11.50r15 Pictures
Im looking for pictures of your cherokee, preferably the 84-96 body style. I dont want pictures if the jeep is cut up or beat up. I want pictures of the truck with OEM flares that are not cut, ect. Customer bumpers and stuff are fine. But i do not want pics of cut flares! Thanks!

Wish I had better pictures, but should fit the request.
On a slight slope, measures 4.5" front and around 5.5" rear depending on how the springs settled that day.
Tires are 32x11.50R15 Mud Claws
The orange XJ is on 31's, but the lift is pretty similar.

What's the BFD with stock flares the larger tires are still going to throw rocks/mud/water whatever all over anyway? First large tree limb I ran over on a off road fire trail tore one of mine off and I removed the rest. Then cut for more flex of the suspension and not get the tires into anything.
At 4 1/4"'s of lift do you not plan on off roading your XJ? If you do at that height you can get decent flex with the proper components, I have mine maxed out for now but shortly will do a long arm.
Wow I missed your name and that you will never use your XJ for 4 wheeling.

I can't speak for everyone that's lifted with stock flares, but in my particular case, the XJ is also my daily driver for now, and with the 3.75" backspaced wheels pushing out the tires, I'd rather avoid johnny law by keeping some type of flares on and staying legal for the time being.
Completely agree with fender trimming for articulation/clearance, as even now my tires are catching on the fender at near full lock. But again, in my case anyway, the need to stay legal means I wont be trimming off any sheet metal until I purchase aftermarket flares or fab up some of my own.
