Hi guys & gals
Justa want to see some side shots or any shots of XJ's with 31" & 32" tires on 4.5" lift
Please!

Putting my lift on April 19. Problem is I cant make up my mind on what size tires LOL. And I DONT WANT TO TRIM.... ANYTHING LOL...well maybe the front bumper brackets.
If 32"s decrease alot of MPG, then that may play a factor in picking them. Please also mention what back spaceing or back spacers you have. THX

MadDogXJ thanks for helping me on my thread. Here is ericsxj's 98 with RE: 4.5 lift and 31's on tech 1 rock crawlers and 4.5" back spacing. http://www.ericsxj.com/ I think he said he could fit 32's. But he has a very nice write up about everything you'll need. CV driveshaft and SYE?? etc...

This is a 4" kit with a 1" spacer up front..... I havn't actually measured but it looks like I got close to 5" out my lift. Here it is with 31's and stock rims. Oh yeah.... and no sye..... couldn't believe I got away with it seeing as how it's a 97 auto

Ya I've been

)

Ya I got all the parts. I have to pickup my SYE (Slip Yoke Eliminator) at Jeap Thrills (Jeep shop & Junk yard out here) I'm going all out and doing it best I can without going broke LOL.

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering if you are having some rubbing caused by your front tires on the LCA at full steer.

Oh and did you remove you rims because they rubbed or for that clean look?

BTW... Love your bumper. It's a Pre 96 model right?
I’m planning on getting that version or the 96+ one. I just wish they had a 2" receiver on em so I can leave my winch at home out of the rain, as it’s my daily driver. Why has the extra weight...right?

EnderUSAF · 04-09-2004, 09:41 PM

I rub just a little bit at full turn... this should be gone when I get my new rims next week though.......

I have a rusty's 4.5 lift, with 32x11.5 mud rovers.

No rubbing when turned, but it does hit the fenders whenever fully flexed. I've trimmed lots to accomodate the new fender flares though, and now there is NO rubbing when fully flexed.

Just wait... you haven't seen nothin yet!

If you want 32's I would get them and not worry so much about trimming. I worried too, but now its no big deal. Gearing should be more of an issue than trimming, but lots of guys run 32's on stock gears...

See my link below, I have a RE6130 with Weld Wheel Stonecrushers with 3.75 BS and 32x11.50 ProComp AT's. On full crank left or right they rub a little on the inside of flares in the inside rear front wheel wells. Not serious enough to cause damage.

My Son runs 31's on a 4" lift with absolutely no rub at all.
