Default Lift and Tire Help

Could use some help. I'm putting a 4.5" RC lift on my 01XJ and was wondering what size tires would be recommended. I would love 35s but i dont wanna go through the hassle of getting my jeep re-geared.

33x12.5's is a nice size. I just did the RC 4.5 x series kit and 33 12.5's and love it! I still have lots of power to the wheels with factory gears ( 3.73 because of the towing package)

u would need to trim ur fenders with 35s, and you should only need a longer drive shaft when u put in a SYE, which is HIGHLY recommended when going over 3.5"
