with generous amounts of fender trimming and bumpstops you can run 35s on 4.5 inchs

If you don't mind trimming a good bit, 4.5-5". If you don't really want to trim alot, 6".

i have a 99 and i have bad vibes at 3inches of lift. im installing an SYE next week. even if you have bad vibes your driveshaft can still fall off the transfercase with a slip yolk.

and you can go 4" of lift and fit 35s if you want. but 33s are more reasonable for a DD

I know a few people with 35s and 4.5". They all have to trim the front fenders to the body line. But the tires hit the inner fender before the outter it's All about down travel, so long shocks with bump stops and u will be impressed with your jeep.

Also alot of them chopped the lower rear quater panels off because the tires hit.

My truck with the 6.5" RC lift sits higher in the back then the front, once the front springs sag down more ( which Is another complaint with this lift) I will prolly put my leafs in the higher shackle bolt whole probably netting me 5.5" lift, which is pretty sweet IMO
