ome lift on 99 tj 4l..looking for bigger tires??
I have a 99 tj with the ome kit on her...would like to put 33" tires on her.
it sit's on 31 now & would like to go bigger..with a 1 1/2" bl would this be enough for the 33..or should i get some 32...
dose any one have picks of this set up ..with 33 or 32???

Will 33" tires be to much for the 3.73 gears..
thanks

Oh, but make sure your wheels have correct back spacing for wider tires. Unless you get 33x10.5 vs. 33x12.5

They are the only ones that I can think off off the top of my head. If you want to run the 12.5" wide tires you will need around 4" of backspacing with new wheels or wheel spacers. If you DON'T want new wheels just get the 33x10.5's. They are lighter and better on the street anyway.

I found these in the TJ forum.

RE 3.5" with 33x10.5 BFG AT's (so about the same as 2.5" OME + 1"BL that you want to run)

can not agree with that..it is ok but not plenty of lift
I have OME+1" spacers+1.25 BL and my 33s are good offroad with the long bumpstop extensions that I recently installed.
I think:
OME+1"BL+1"spacers is almost equal lift to RE 3.5 believe it or not
