4.5 lift and 33's

I have got a set of 33's that were given to me to put on my Jeep. I just put a 4.5 lift on my 97 and I'm wondering if anyone else has run this combo. If so, what mods did u have to do?

search search search :wave:
 
You will have to do some fender trimming. You should be able to get away with just trimming the plastic and not the metal.

Absolutely. What rims do you have though? Stock backspacing won't work for you, I'd recommend about a 4" BS
 
One area I had problem with 33" and +4.75" was the spot-welded seam on the top & rear of the front wheelwells. The plastic inner liner hides it, but I like to beat these flush to the well (make some relief cuts)

At full stuff, the front part (under the battery/airbox) will be the bumpstop.

OTOH my lift was with stock LCAs on an 89 with fenders trimmed/flares gone. YMMV with a 97.
