Can I fit 33's with 3" lift and cut fenders

[cj11]

I have a 97 with three inch lift and cutfenders stock gears and I run 31x10.50 on 15x8 soft 8's. The 31's look to damn small in the wells and when it flexes there looks to be enough room in the front the rear looks a little tight any run 33's on three inch lift or should i just go 32's. with the 32's will i see any differance

It depends on how much you cut your fenders. 33s are going to be tight with just a 3 inch lift, but doable if you cut enough.

I am by no means the Authority on this, But... The rear would need ALOT of bump stop to make that work if you're flexing offroad. May I suggest trim and do 32" MAXXIS BIGHORNS they almost pass for 33s and you'd have some more room in there, but it will be tight even with the rear cut & folded fenders.

Q: do you have an SYE? / Did your 3 inch lift include leaf packs...

Perhaps a small budget boost (maybe 1.5) in addition with the tires to help with making some more room.

33's are easily doable on a 3" lift, just trim

YES. I barely cut anything.

not really. my 4" bumps never even hit my axle with the 33s, or with my 31s. im running that and the DPG bumps now and its better.

I did, My sawzall broke after we finished my front fenders and were 3/4 of the way through my friend's front fenders.

I'm running a 3.5" lift, which actually came out to around 3" of lift. Cut 2.5" off the front fenders and 1-1.5" off the rear. Have 2" extended bumpstops in the front and stock in the rear. Put on 33" TSL's and can fully flex the front with about 1" of room left. The rear I have only about .24" left under full flex. It will rub slightly if somebody is sitting in the back seat. I'll prob. put a 1" shackle back there soon. I'd definitely put 33's under there!

what wheel backspacing and have you added longer bupmstops?

 

[cj11]

no bumpstops at all took the fronts off when I put the lift on and one of the rear fell off but they do not touch the axel anyway.

 

[flexinxj]

ive got 3" running 32's and i hardly trimmed, i love the setup i had though im about to go bigger

I do not know what exactly BS I'm running, those are 15 x 8 much like MT classic.

I do not add bumpstops.
