Im wanting to see some pics of jeep with a 4.5" lift and 31x10.5r15 tires. My jeep has 32x11.5 but i might go down to a 31 so I can get a 10.5" wide tire.

 

This is a bit taller than 4.5" but on 31x10.5

 

4.5 lift, 31 x 10.5 bfg k02 on pro comps with 3.75 backspacing.

 

98 XJ,

 

Looks pretty good to me. I just wanted to make sure it wouldnt look goofy going down a tire size.

 

What back bumper is that? I like it.

 

Man, for me, I was searching for the tire size that would get me the most places with no re gearing, then a lift that would involve absolutely no cutting. I dont care what others think it looks like. 4.5 with 31 x 10.5 is a sweet spot that alot of things converge on.

 

I dont mind my my 32s I just wanna 10.5" wide tire and i cant find that in a 32.

 

^ That's the reason I wish I had gone with 16" rims. A 265/75R16 measures 31.6" tall and 10.4" wide. Plenty of tire options to choose from to.

I go to google images all the time and get a lot of results for "Jeep Cherokee XJ 4.5" lift on 31's" or "32's". I have a complete 4.5" lift with ALL the upgrade parts sitting in the garage ready to go on when the weather is a hair warmer out here in Denver. I actually have a couple of Jeeps I've seen that I think are amazing and I'm jealous of them. I wont be building mine to look like them, but they are inspiration.

Anywho, I cant decide on 31 or 32" tires either. If I was smart I would do 31's because I dont want to re-gear, and I'd like to keep my MPG above 12 hahaha.... I already have a slightly heavy foot as it is. I have the 8" wide Canyons to put the rubber on for now. I cant decide on what rims I would choose aftermarket......

 

home made back bumper. My friend designed it for his XJ and I inherited it when he rolled his Jeep

 

That back bumper looks awesome. I really like the left side of it.... (I'm messing with you)

 

Funny story. Took this XJ in for transmission service and left it overnight. The shop guy was moving the cars back into the service bay the next morning. He backed my jeep up very quickly right into a brand new Audi. My left side rear bumper saw no damage, it shifted less than a .25 inch closer to the body but did not touch the sheet metal. The Audi looked bad with front end crumpled head light bumper destroyed and frame bent.
They called me that morning to come double check any damage and I told them no problem for me. They even sent me the security footage showing the Audi being pushed upwards and 2 feet back when my jeep hit it. pretty cool stuff but I feel bad for the service tech who did this since the shop owner had to pay for the damage around $15,000.

 

GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah that sucks bad....

 

here's 31's on 4" lift
