I would jump on that price for a set of 33" anything. The 33s will fit with minor fender trimming unless you plan on totally flexing your Jeep out with this setup. If you want to be able to flex it out with 33s and 4.5" lift you will need a lot of fender trimming and longer bumpstops. You really should have gotten RCs 6.5" lift. It is perfect for 33s. That is the setup my son has on his 87 XJ.

yea i was going to go with the 6 but i didnt want to because i didnt want to have to deal with longer axles right now and all that...and the 4.5 is enough for me i pretty much stick to dirt and trails no heavy climbin.. but i would like to be able to flex a bit..im thinkin im just going to start cutting...oh and by the way does he like RC's stuff im hearing mixed reviews...

thanks

mine flexed fine on 33s and a 3"... with a metric **** ton of trimming...

it is a million times better with 33 and 4.5" lift

It will flex just fine you just have to trim and bumpstop.

i have a RE 4.5. it currently has 31's. i was wanting to go to a 6.5 lift to 33's but then someone posted this website. i am now convinced 33's will work fine with the 4.5. check it out. this site has pics of all sorts of lift and tire combinations.

Go with 32's on the 4.5 inch lift. I flex the crap out of my jeep with the stock flares in the stock locations. It's a good size too if you still need to run stock gears for a while.

I'll post the link in 30 when I'm home... great article. Great info for 35s in 4.5"
