I had to trim the front fenders just to get them on...the backs rub when you hit a big bump if to don't trim. If you trim front and back they fit great but rub when your at almost full lock. I have NO bumpstops and can flex almost all the way as long as I leave the sway bars connected. Overall I'm pretty happy with how they fit but I will probably drop down to 33x10.5 because the 12.5s suck in the snow. Jeeps just don't have the weight to run 12.5s in the snow.

Almost forgot...in case you didn't read my signature I'm running a rusty's 3" lift that nets closer to 3.5". I will be lifting another 1.5" soon so I can wheel without swaybars.

You might not need any, I trimmed about 1.25" i think. Maybe you have a buddy that would let you try his tires on for size or maybe theres someone on Cherokee Forum that would be willing to help you.

If you were closer I wouldn't mind letting you try mine but you're about 8 hours from me.
