Gotta admit love the pics of a stocker flexing with swaybar off, shows how great they are out of the box!
Oh and what are the two plates with holes coming out under the front bumper. Hope your not going to use them for recovery!

Lol Dozer, I got my lift from Ebay 3" Spacers Shackles & 8" Travel Shocks.
(JimmyB) I put 31s on the front the other day at stock height and went under just, and I've seen an XJ with a 3" Lift and 34" SS Super Swamper's so 33s shouldn't be a prob.
And the hooks under the front bumper are from an old bullbar. I plan on putting some decent recovery hooks coming right out of the front bumper.
As For gearing Steve from what you have told me i will keep it to 33s Minimum knowing that.
Yeah Loving the stock flex it's my wallpaper. lol
Cheers Kyle

No the Spacers are wheel Spacers not lift spacers, And I'm not sure if I'm getting them yet I think i might just go Neg 50 offset.

They are skinny 34's, 9.5" wide on stock rims. Your typical 33X12.5 will not fit at 3" and even a 32x11.5 would be tight unless you put in a lot of bumpstop and/or cut. I bet those guards are trimmed front and rear and that it rubs on the control arms pretty heavily or the steering stops have been adjusted out quite a bit. If you're going to run 33's and want max flex then find a real skinny tyre. I've run stock, 30's, 31's, 32's and currently 35's and once you go above 31X10.5 you need to start bumpstopping and cutting quite significantly.
Even 33's will suck with stock gearing, factor it in or expect to get terrible mileage. I run 4.56 with 35's on my XJ and I get better mileage than I did with 32's and stock gearing (3.55)
Cheers
Steve

Yeah he has, the back looks like he trimmed it to the Max but the front only looks miner you can see where the flare use to be.
