I am looking at getting the RE5.5 6200 lift. I want to know if this is going to be big enough to put 33x9.5 under my 98 cherokee?

What happens when you stuff the tires?

You might rip your fender flares off.
 
You wont make it w/o some trimming.Ive been working on fitting mine since April!
 
You will with bumpstops...

Three hocky pucks in the front...

No hitty on fenders..

U-Bolt plate extensions in the rear...

No over extend leaf springs or hitty on fenders either..

Thats what I call using the old think muscle there Robs...but what are hockey pucks??? Just kidding!!! Another great example of thinking outside the box..

I have 12.5 x 33's on mine..with about 5" of actual lift and a lot of trimming especially on the front...if you use the right back spacing on the wheels and the 9.5's i dont think you will have quite as much trouble...But I play in mud and sand mostly...so radical articulation in my case is not required.
 
i just installed the RE 5.5 exteme with swamper's LTB 34-10.50's with stock jeep 5 spoke rims on my 88 with minor rubbing at full stuff while turning.I have only cut the front fenders level with bumper.On a 23 degree ramp the front bump stops don't even touch.

thank guys... can't take credit for either of them... other XJ'ers around here use hocky pucks... and Dirk at DPG Offroad told me about u-bolt plates he's getting ready to sell.. I'm just cheap and fabbed my own...
