4.5 lift and 33's

[tnxjjeeper]

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?

I'm running 33x10.50 and 4.5" lift all I did was trim rear fenders

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

can u get away with 32 x 11.50's with no fender trimming?

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.

You'll have to trim a little out of the front plastic bumper gaurds. The flares should be ok.
