Nice, I noticed you kept the stock rims. Any rubbing with the 33s? Or do you think you'll need a wheel spacer?

No vibes. BTW, special thank you to TN Trooper Butterfield for not giving me a ticket while checking for vibes (63 mph in a 45 zone).
No rubbing at all...not even close. I added the relo bracket to recenter the axle. I am off 1/8 inch. I went ahead and trimmed 1/4" off the top rear spring perches just in case. I have over an inch on both sides. No spacers necessary.

Jeep looks good, but what does the wife look like? j/k
I'd really like to see a quarter turn pic and maybe one from behind. (the jeep of course). I have the same wheels and a buget boost and I've been thinking of doing the same tires with a body lift. I don't like the width of the 33 x 12.50 and am interested in how far the 10.50's stick out of the flares, if any. Thanks!

I love it so much I'm copying it. I have been back and forth for a month on which lift which wheels which tires etc. I had settled on the 2.25" BB but couldn't decide between 31's or 32's. But seeing yours I'm just going to go all out with those 33x10.5's. That thing looks perfect!
You mentioned plenty of power, you got an auto right? What gears? I've got a 6 speed with 3.73's and I turn 2900 at 80 mph now, so I was suprised to see you turning that at 70 mph. Before the 33's what did you turn, you had to be mid 3's at cruising speed.

Is that a standard 7 foot garage door height? Any clearance issues? I am getting ready to order tires and lift but want to make sure i will still fit. Looks like your rig fits fine, and i will have about the same amount of height.
