This summer I picked up a 2000 XJ with an RC 4.5" lift kit and 31" wheels. The lift kit looks to be properly installed, and the front control arm length (which is adjustable) matches what RC specifies for the length (29.75"). The XJ has the stock fenders, and I intend to leave them for now.
There is evidence of the tires rubbing the rear of the front fenders, probably during flex with the wheels turned fairly sharply. Since the control arm length is adjustable, I'm considering increasing the wheelbase slightly to get some more clearance from the fender. I'm thinking of increasing the control arm length by 0.25". I've looked over the suspension, steering, and driveline, and I don't see any issues with even a 0.5" increase, but I'm curious if anyone has any experience with doing this and whether they had issues.
