so I have bumpstops that are supposably 2" taller then stock bumpstops. (i wouldn't know by measurement, since when I removed the old ones, there was hardly anything left.) so, if I bumpstop it that much, doesn't that give me the clearance I need for 31's/32's? and width, what will a 4.5" lift that I'm looking at from RE give me to acheive 32's that are stated to fit, no rub, that can't be acheived by bumpstops??
question two, a 4.5" lift and some trimming (where, exactly) will allow me to fit 33's?

Thats looks very nice. I guess there is hope with a small budget.phinx4x4 said:Well here is a pic of my jeep! i got a sweet deal from my friend on a set of wheels and tires, i was going to put them on the old xj but it got totaled. so i put them on my new on.

Those are Les Schwab's basic mud terrain. Schwab tires are not so good off-road, had a set years ago and the rubber compound is very hard, don't expect much grip on rocks. They are high mileage tires though, so if you don't mind extra road noise and sub-par performance off-road, go for it.
BTW, Les Schwab is a west coast chain, I don't know how available their stuff is east of the Rockies.

Thanks, nothing like that around here in the midwest.
I like the tread pattern and what the side wall says "wild country".

Yes its a les Schwab tire and he is right. If you plan useing them on rock i dont recomend them at all!! I personaly an not to fond of them but my Friend bought them for his truck and they did not fit so he sold them to me for $150. I have used them in mud and snow and so far not to bad. Much better in the mud but i was wheeling and ran in to snow and they were like ice skates! But then again i was on a VERY steep incline so that explanes it.
If i had the money i would buy another set of ProComp Xterrains!!! I ran those for almost two years on my other XJ and they were GREAT!!!!!!!!! Not to loud on the freeway too. in fact the ones i have now are louder than my old procomps!

It a little of every thing.
Front- Rusty's offroad 2" Coil spacer. It rides great because its still useing the stock front springs. And not big enough to have to do anything with brake lines.
Rear- Added a leaf to the original leaf pack from my old set of springs for my old XJ. And from there i added a custom fab rear shackle. Measurements are 2" exactly in the front and just over 2 1/4" in the rear.
Like i said it rides great and has nice flex seeing how it has the soft stock springs. Only thing i did not upgrade was the shocks. They are about a inch to short for full drop but i am not getting new ones because i am getting the rubicon 3.5 lift in a few months.
