Is this a good deal?

Thanks for the comments!

I ordered 33x10.5 BFG KM2's for it last week, they are coming to my local 4wp today, I will be ordering a 4.5" rough country lift this Friday.

4.5" is too much lift for 33x10.50s! Stick with 3" and trim it! (trust me-I ran that setup!)

4.5 with no trimming is great for 33's

I was thinking I would have to do some trimming even with the 4.5" and 33's?

My friend used to run a 4.5" lift with 33x12.5's and I always thought that was a good combination.

I will still consider a 3" though, that's part of why I haven't ordered the lift yet, Im still deciding.

i ran 33's with 3.5 and cut the snot out of it....never rubbed

Flores...why on Earth would he need 6" of lift and 35's? There is a lot to be said about a lower center of gravity.

why is jen's spare tire higher than the roof of your house?

FYI she has 6.5 or slightly more and 35's

She's compensating for something?

What are the details on the 3" lift you had? Do you have any pictures? How much trimming was done?

Thanks!

Yeah, you need to spend $400 on something that is going to be eaten by a tree!

I will be trimming the fenders, leaving only the "mini flare". The 33's rub if the suspension articulates the way it sits now.

I have already started cutting the fronts, I gotta finish tomorrow so I can take her wheeling .

Next on the list after trimming the fenders is to make a rear bumper, I plan to cut and fold the back quarter panel up and have the rear bumper wrap around the sides to protect the quarter panel.

mine were free

Yes Flores, but you said he needed some, so unless you're offering yours to him for the same price you gave it will cost him.
