Don't go passed 32's. He rubbed with the 4.5 with 33's. 32's will look okay. Lift the **** out of it and put real tires on there!!!! just my 2 cents [addsig]

He will still rub with 32"s if he wheels it. Even with a 1" body lift. My friend has that same lift but he has the tera flex revolver shackles and it still rubs. If your not going to wheel all the time go with the 33's. You can all ways make the jeep bigger to fit the tires. But can't make the tires grow bigger.[addsig]

I'm with JE420EP . You don't want to spend all that money on tires and then have to buy bigger tires later on if you plan to lift it. If anything buy the tires, or hold on to them ,save some money and get a suspension lift. -Al[addsig]

OK, Here is the fact about the budget boost. When you do it you need to pay the extra $25 for the bumpstop extensions. The RE 4.5" is also known for not using a long enough bumpstop. if you rub a 33 anytime after a 3" or more lift your bumpstop is not long enough. with the budget boost you should stick with the 32's and get a 2" BS extension. On a 5.5" or more lift you need a 3.5" BS extension and your 35's will not rub. When getting a kit installed always make sure that the bumpstops have been installed and that extensions on the top or to the bottom plate have been added.

BTW I agree with the wording issue

JEdopesmokingEP, he's asking about a TJ, and you're referring to a YJ. We can't compare apples to oranges here, need to keep the advice less KornFuZing :-? [addsig]

There is no need to call me a dope smoker cop. There is no need to label someone here beacause you don't like the advice. My advice is as good as anyone's here. Been doing this ten years how bout you.

Good Friends,,

This is why it's so important
to Label and write your post
effectively... Biz.. ya know better :-D

We've ALL joked about the 420 avatar,
NOT the Jeeper behind it.

Long ago it got it's own thread, or most
of one, remember.

and we all smiled and LOL,.. had fun.

Sorry Brother Blue, I didn't think it
was one of your more effective post.
I know it's just over and over same
mistakes lately, but. to quote a friend
who I trust imperiacly...

I appreciate your patience while we all
learn together.
(See posting accuracy advise.)

Shall we Just Jeep on, Brothers,
Or do I spark my M-7?


Love Ya Both! and ya know it.
Let's wheel.[addsig]
