These are the best pics I could fine on level groundish. Those are 31's but I want sooo badly to run 33's. I havent done any trimming on her yet so I would be able to gain a couple inches there. Think is would be too stuffed? the lift is a bastard pack lift in the rear. used coils im estimating are 3inch with a two inch spacer...to be honest i have no clue what the lift truly sits at. im thinking around 3.5 to 4? Anyway i can go 31's again but if I can fit 33's I would love it. i would go all out with a new lift and what not but I decided to get a bike also when I get home so the budget just got a ton tighter.

Are you gonna re-gear the axles? You're gonna hate 33's if you don't. Real power killer........

For fitment, I say find someone with a 33" spare you could borrow and mount it on front then rear and look at your clearances before you cut and regret it.
 
I do plan on regearing but not right away, probably within the next year. the jeep for next year will be mostly local driving then longer trips to hit up trails or the beach. My fiance has a car thats good on gas so that will always be there and I will have the bike for work and school. I have heard mixed thoughts on running 33's with no gearing. I have an auto which I know is better if your not going to regear right away. is the power loss that bad? is there a dramatic diff when wheeling?
 
I could only really feel the power loss with the 33's and the stock 3.55 when offroad and on the highway. Perfectly fine around town. On the highway, I just had to know not to use cruise as it would hunt all around for the right gear, and I couldn't drag race anyone. As far as offroad, I just used 4lo a lot for obstacles, and it was fine.
