Tires?

[konoff1998]

Have a 4.5" lift should i go with 33's or 32's and what are the benifits from ss boggers v.s bfg mt's?

HA! bogger vs bfg MT? i didnt know people could compare those...2 totally different classes. BFG mt sucks in mud, good on pavement and hard surfaces..bogger-good everywhere but sand(you have to wing them as they are paddle tires)


go 33" and trim the fenders...if your state likes fender flares..buy the bushwacker cut out...

i voet for the boggers tho :gonnablow

Do you drive on the road frequently? If so, you will hate the Boggers. They wear out quiet quick on the road and ride like crap. BFG M/Ts are decent in mud. If you want a good off road tire that has good grip and rides and wears good on the road look into Maxxis Bighorns. I run them on my Cj and will put some on my XJ when I lift it,

I have been reading a lot of great reviews for Pit Bull tires.

I will be purchasing either the Growlers or Rockers for my next set depending on the amount of $ I have at the time...

The Bushwacker cut outs will fit on 96+ models with slight modifications. I have them on my '98 4door. As for tires, I love my Procomp Xtreme MTs. When buying tires, consider what terrain you will primarily be running. Is your truck a daily driver? Do you drive to / from trails?

How are those procomps with balancing though? i seem to remember them taking a lot of weight to balance out right...?

 

[scottmcneal]

Go with the 33s, then when you need one you can find it anywhere.... #2s are hit an miss some times....

 

[xjnewbi]

Right you are with the balancing issue - one took a good amount of weight, one not much at all, and the other two I would say were a little over average. I am running 33x12.5

33/9.50/15 has got my 2wd places a LOT of 4x4s can't go! (there were 2 at the bottom of the cliff that couldn't make teh corner this past winter. I could've made it the rest of the way with my home made snow chains, but decided not to chance it)

i have an '01 with 4.5" of lift. i am running 32 bfgs and love them. i've had them on trails and in mud bogs and they took me where i wanted to go.i just ordered the bw flares for mine and was told that they will fit any year of xj--there might just be more cutting involved for the newer years unless you take off the bumper endcaps.
