Sorry, damn phone freaked out & I didn't want to type everything over again! Argh!
Anyway, cut and fold on rear fenders. Tires just touch on front edge of rear fender at full flex. Oh, home made swaybar discos on front.
overall very happy with this setup. Thinking of going 35's soon as most ruts in the pacific NW are to deep for 33's.

Are your front shocks mounted in the stock position? If so what kind of up travel and down travel measurements do you think you have.
Yep, shocks are in stockmounts. Up travel is only about 3". The Bilstein shocks handle it very well tho. Only bottom out on really hard hits. I don't know why I haven't measured droop travel. Theoretically it could be almost 20" but the rest of the suspension limits that. I measured carefully for tire fit, up travel limits. (for my bumpstops) and shock length for compressed and extended length. I then bought the longest shock I could for Cherokees that wouldn't bottom out. I don't have the part number handy but I believe it's the 5125 Bilstein specs for a 6" lift.
