Is Patriot Blue cool with you?
If so, strap in, cause it's awn!!!

here's my .02 cents

a driver is the key part in determining capability of a vehicle

good driver = good times
bad driver= broken parts, and stupid moves that endanger people including themselves because they are putting vehicle up to what it can't do...(ie. local idiots in s10's going 40mph or so through mudhole's drunk)

little rick and hilly country. nothing like tellico, plz. ocassional 45 degree incline and offchambers.

Going with 33's will mean a big step up in price compared to going with 31's. You can get by with only a 3.5"-4.5" lift and 31s and do some pretty difficult trails. Going with a 5.5"+ lift to fit 33s means you also need SYE, rear DS, adj. trackbar, and LCAs almost right away. You will also notice an even bigger decrease in acceleration/power going with 33s. I am running 31s and I notice a big difference as it is when I step on the gas. I have a few pics on this site http://ucsub.colorado.edu/~footdale. sorry no action ones up yet, but have not yet approached the capabilities of my rig, still learning how to wheel.

Check out this site. He has some good pics to show the capabilty of the truck with 31s

I wheel with a 3" and 31 x 10.5 interco swamper ssr's. They run big for a 31" and I swiftly removed alot of stuff upfront when they stuffed for the first time with the swaybar disconnected. I also have rockkrawler adjustable control arms that add greatly to the flex. I think 3" is good for a start till you learn your jeep and are ready to open the high dollar can of worms it can become(a good can of worms). Sorry no pics yet. i am always driving it and my Toyota buddies dont see the need for pics of a Jeep. their loss...They have I.F.S. too.!?!?!?

I have a 3" RE with 31x10.50's on aftermarket aluminum rims. 31's are very proportional I feel and a lot of the correct look has to do with the proper backspacing. Mine stick out slightly (half a lug to a lug) past the fender flares and looks great. You can get by pretty cheap with a 3 to 3.5 lift and 31's but as the earlier post stated if you want to run bigger you either have to hack your fenders apart (which I prefer the stock look) or run a higher lift (I prefer to added money go towards gas and beer!) Sorry, I have no pics.

This is funny you guys think you actually wheel with 31" tires haha.
oh wait I have 31s oh no I just bought some 33" SSR's.
Anyway I have about 5" of lift and soon to be 33s I liked my 31s cause I had to learn to driving skills now with 33s it not as stategic as it used to be. Anyway I cant post pics from home I can when I get to work.

[jjvande]

he's thinking of modifying his jeep and wants to see what it will be like before he does it. no problem here.

good luck

I'm not sure if you're looking at a suspension to clear these tires or if you already have it, but in the case that its stock ready to be lifted, here's my two cents.

The problem with 3 inch lifts is that the lift isn't very complex, and often keeps the same upper control arms as stock. Also, a lot of 3 inch lifts have disconnects as an option. So, buying a bigger, heavier-duty lift has its advantages because it not only wheels better, but I'm sure in the end you'll be going that big anyway.

Also, I know the jeepsunlimited cherokee thread has a column on whether or not to lift past 3". They make it sound like above 3 inches is a bad idea, but, if you want to wheel with the best of em' and a 3 inch lift is what you want, you better have the best skid plates on Earth.

If you just have a 3 inch lift and are looking to trim the fenders, then you still won't be getting all the flex a 5 inch kit designed for 33s would offer.

I recommend going big or going home. No, that's stupid, but getting it done right the first time around is the best advice I could give anyone.

I can send you some pics of mine in some eye catching poses.

Where do I send them?

I have done much work on articulation. Good articulation and driving skills I can match an overbuilt XJ with 33s no prob.

[REDXJ4FUN]

Right now if you have't realy wheel a xj or any other thing go with 31s and armor your rig I ran pretty tough trails with mine expecialy once I welded the rear. Yu'll get used to the scraping and banging but as long as your armored you'll be fine I still have no skids on mine and I'm on my second gastank the first on was totaly destory to the point that it wouldn't take gas. you can geta set of 31s cheep since amy upgrade but start out there and learn then have funn cutting if you want. I ran 3in springs with ORGs ACOS set for 1.25 in thye front and just the 3in springs in the back with tj flairs and 33 MTRs but you need to regear for 33s you can doit with stock but it sucks.

This is on 3" lift and 31" muds

Not an action shot, but this is a 4" lift with 31's. I'm selling the lift if anyone has interest. I'm in Pittsburgh.

Here is a link to my site http://community.webshots.com/user/jeepin_rebel i only have the one pic with it on 31' but most of the others are on 32's. all the pics are with 3.5 lift. The black xj is also on 31's with 3 inches. All are fairly capable.

i currently am running 31 s on stock wheels with about 4" of lift.i have taken it lots of tough places and it works pretty well. as everyone says, learn your rig and you can take it lots of crazy places. first thing i bought was amor, it lets you make a few mistakes while learning. that being said i am in the process of going to about 5.5" lift and running 33's. i think i can use the clearance under the diffs. if i could run the 33's with with my 4" without mondo trimming i probably would just to keep the cg a bit lower. i never could get pictures in my posts so none attached ,but lots of good stuff wheeled.

I have had 31's for about two years now and I wheel the crap out of my rig.

I am one of the few here that actually thinks that bigger is not better. I constanly go out with guys running 37's - 44's and I keep up through everything but the deepest mud or water. The key to running 31's successfully is reducing weight.

here's a couple pics
some snow, I am the second from the rear. I had the smallest rig... the next smallest were the Bronco's on 35's. Never got winched, or strapped.

Here is my jeep, it has 31's and I have had a ton of fun with it, if you can't decide between 31's and 33's, just go 32's...simple as that.

Were you saying you were in Little Rock or you tend to encounter a few rocks??? I'm running 31"s with a 3.5" lift and I love it. I've kept up with all the big-uns I've been out with. I love seeing the look on their faces when I do the same stuff they do. Priceless!!!!!!!

Just have to say, I think its cr$p that some people think 35s and above are the only way to wheel.. I have wheeled my CJ with 35s and fully locked and I can go most places that others would pucker over, but now I have an XJ with 31s and I am totally happy. I can still go the same places, put more stress on the axles, and drive home without knowing that I have to fix another prolem. If you need to increase your extension (read pee-pee extension) then get a mag and take care of business. Other than that, to each his own and sometimes a smaller tire, no need to tow, and a family trip where kidneys don't bleed out over every bump might be in your future too.

Sorry, after reading a few of these posts I just had to say, don't scoff at smaller tires, that rig just might be pulling you out of a bad situation beause you stressed out your D30 and busted your axles or U-joints.

[woody431]

Im going to be sitting at 5" and I have a set of 31" BFG A/T's ready to put on and I plan on wheeling the hell out of it. I think if the front and rear are locked and you have good tow points, you should be able to put it through plenty to have a good time.

[Fergie]

Here is an idea:

Pull up your skirt, un-wad your panties, and wash the sand out. The post is from the first of the year!

You must have been really bored to resurect that thread :D I looked at couple of the people's specs as they've described them and went huh ?
Anyways..... you can wheel your jeep at any height! Even negative lift, just ask Sequoia (trying to motivate him so that he takes care of his leaf pack problem finally!)
