well then aside from bump stops, with 33s and 4.5? your gonna want to go 5.5-6.5 if you wanna stay untrimmed. thats why ur rubbing.

whats the backspace on ur rims? you need atleast 4", preferably 3.75. that will clear the control arms but you will rub the fenders @ 4.5. and UNtrimmed

i'm trimmed with 4.5 and still rub the lower part of my fenders a tiny bit. i have to trim alittle more.

so inconclusion; if you don't have the money to go to 6 or more maybe just go to 4.5 and get 31s or 32s. and forget about 33s. since you don't want to trim. these are pretty much ur choices.

he said he has bushwackers so im guessing he trimmed for those. just get some longer bump stops. everyone on here thinks bumpstops limit flex. they dont! bumpstops are a big part of a good set up suspension

How do you bump stop correctly? I've heard about it but don't know how to correctly lol. I got the jeep with bush whackers on there so I'm not sure if its trimmed or not

someone else could prolly answer that better than me. i have a good idea but i dont want to feed you the wrong information. heres a good read about what i was saying with the bumpstops not hurting flex, read this: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f67/lo...24-12-a-32980/
