sorry, thats the seattle talking, it looks 1,000,000,000 times better. made the jeep look brand new

i would run 32's with your setup ron. but if its really a big issue to you, run 33's, cut the pinchweld, and trim the front bumper.

oh and dude, when it comes to tires, consider treadrights, much cheaper, and i haven't heard to many complaints. you can get into 33's in a "toyo open country m/t" but with a different name for about 1/3 the price. just looked it up, $92 a tire... not bad

this is true too, which tires are you looking at? i didnt see any that look like my toyo muds? my 33's are going to be from treadwright, and i bet you kolak will be cheaper than iro on the bumpstops too, if not, the customer service is worth the little extra for sure!

I really like these, even with the extra shipping to Canada they would be a steal since new 33's would cost me $1600.

If you want you can always write "Goodyear" and "Wrangler" on the side in white marker.

I'm running the IRO 4" LA lift with Bilstein shocks and Good Year Dura Trac LT265/75R16 (31.7") tires. The IRO kit came with shorter front than rear shocks so Bilstein traded the shorter ones for some longer ones to match the rears, extended the bump stops to keep the shocks from serving as such.

My tires (brand new tread), with no trimming at all, just start to rub on the inside of the plastic stock bumpers when fully flexed and tires are completely sunk in the wheel wells (sorry no pics yet of that). There's no way 33's would work without having issues. I also have a couple local friends with WJ's that are running 35's, but it required 6.5" lift and major fender trimming to get them in there.

When you look at it with just the 31.7" tires it looks like the rear tire is going to hit the door area. The radius of the arm going up forms an arc though and it clears the door fine, hits on the plastic in the rear of the wheel well instead. I could just pull that plastic out of there without even the need of rear bumper trimming, but since its plastic and gives, not to mention just barely rubs it doesn't bother me.

With plastic bumper trimming 33's would fit, but with only 3.5" of lift, and spaced further out like your talking, you're going to hit your fender at flex and do body damage. You'd probably gain more by not using the wheel spacers and could possibly just fit under the fender and into the wheel well. If you just plan to mall crawl then curbs or anything you'd encounter on the street wouldn't be a problem.

EDIT:
No idea why the dirty word filter here is editing the picture link like that?

It's changing *** in that link to the *** and making it not work.

EDIT 2:
WTF?
Why is p B W (without the spaces) set by the admin here to be edited out with the censors?

EDIT 3:
pBW still doesn't work, I changed the link URL to make it work.
