Will a 4.5" RC lift be enough?
I'm looking to run my 33x12.5x15s on my new XJ without hacking the fenders up. The guy that is (probably) going to put my lift on says 4.5 inches will be enough and I shouldn't rub. My wheels are soft 8s with good backspacing. The more I look in to it, it sounds like I AM going to rub when flexing out if I don't cut. Would love some input. Thanks.

Will dropping down to a 32 really be enough to not rub? If I keep the 33s, how much trimming? Thanks for the input everyone. I'm new with the Cherokee (always been a Ford guy).

I could stuff my 32's with my 4.5 lift never had any issues with turning or rubbing.
installed 33x12.5's and lots had to change. could only turn half way before rubbing fenders will have to be trimmed and just opens up a big can of worms.
Stick with 32's
