Hey guys I wanted to ask for a picture of an xj with 31x12.5 tires on a 4.5 in lift. That's what I am shooting for, any suggestions help. http://jeephorizons.com/tech/xjtirefit.html Is what I am going off of.

Go to the Cherokee chat. There is a sticky for lift and tire setup at the top of the page.

For a 4 1/2" lift at the least a 33x12:50x15 on a 15x 8" wheel with 3 3/4" of BS to 4" max.

Here is my 33x12:50 with a 4 1/2" lift but also have a set of 35"s for it also.

Yep. 33's with about 4". These are the GY MTR Kevlar and actually measure 33". Most 33's will be closer to 31" when you measure them.

Yes you really need to find out the real size of any tire "Before" you buy it as the do false advertise on a lot of them, mine are a true 33" tire. Its a rip-off to lose the extra clearance when they charge you for it.

AAL rear? The front looks about 4 but not the rear.
Also, I'm on 4" with 31s and don't rub anywhere. Looking to go 33s when I cut my fenders and put bigger flares on. This is my rear end with a 33 and a 31 up front on stock flares.
