Those fenders are trimmed more then just a little.. Also that's more then 4" of lift..Mine is at 4.5" and no way I could get 35's without trimming a whole lot.

I agree i also have 4" of lift and 31's,and there is 4 and a 1/4 of an inch in between the tire and the stock fender flair in the rear.there looks to be 7" in between yours,which would put you right around a 7" of lift.hope you did not buy a lift for nothing.and you should probably get gears or the tranny could go down hill quick.also if your going to be wheeling,you better upgrade the axles.

if they are only on 4.5 with 33's and 34's theres no way they are higher than you...your on 35's with at least 6" of lift...AT LEAST...

lets see some pics of your buddies rigs

Just to give some perspective..My jeeep sites at about 4.5" and from ground to front stock bumper on 30" tires it is 24" and that's at the bottom line before the bottom folds down. So for 35" tires I would about 2.5" to that since for ever inch of tire you cane .5" roughly in height. So on 35's I would sit at 26.5" roughly so You have to be sitting closer to 6".. I figure your bumper bottom doesn't come down as far as stock so I figure about an inch shorter.
