Default Bushwackers w/ 33s and 4.5in lift

Sorry if it has already been posted but I have searched the forum and can't seem to find anything on it, but I have a 94 xj and just put a 4.5" lift on it and 33s. I was looking into doing either bushwacker cutout flares or flat flares. Does anyone have any pictures of an xj with a 4.5" lift on 33s and either flare installed? I'm looking to see how it would look with that much cutting on the cutout flares. As of now I rub on the trails and want some more flex room.

Thanks in advance.

Use Google to search out what you're wanting.

You can actually use it to search a specific site too like this:

33s 4.5 inch lift site:cherokeeforum.com

All of your google results will be from this forum that way, I find Google works MUCH better than most forum search functions these days. With that search I found this thread in about...5 min - https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/4-5...spacing-39905/

Thanks, you learn something new everyday! I just cant seem to come across any pictures that I've been looking for. I don't want an absurd amount of wheel well with not enough tire but in the long run as long as it functions Id be happy

This was about a 6" lift, 35s and cut out flares. Hope this helps out.

Go with Napier, their versions are much better looking, stronger, and cheaper.

Sorry no 33's... but otherwise what you're looking for. I'm running 17" wheels so it throws off the proportions a bit but should give you an idea. I'm running exactly 4.5" of lift all around with the factory rake.

4.5" of lift and 34's (305/70R17):

Bumpstop right and you'll get more flex and won't rub.
