First of all, the search button on the iPhone app sucks. So couldn't do much searching.

Just need some opinions on running this set up. Pictures also if possible. I'm in the market for new tires and more than likely going with 32" KM2s. I don't have the cash to lift My jeep at this time so I'm going to just trim some of the front fenders than later when money permits I'm going with some bushwackers. Any comments are appreciated. Might do this on the weekend. Also how do we trim the fenders? Can someone
Provide me a link to a write up and How do I know how much to cut?

Thanks guys

 

Your going to run into backspacing issue with hitting the control arms. It will rub under flex, so your going to need to take your flares off and trim a bit.

Your going to want to follow the BW template for cutting so you don't cut to much.

Without trimming, the back of the tire will rub on the fender under steering as well.

 

Just save your money and buy a 4.5" lift. Go the size you want the first time. It's cheaper that way.

 

32s will fit if you cut and fold the front and rear on stock. how ever you will need backspaced wheels, plus will need to bumpstop and wont have much up travel. just do it right and research how you want your jeep to be and how much dough your willing to commit to your jeep and do it right. get the suspension first then trim and decide what tires you want

 

I screwed up and installed a 3" RC lift few months back thinking I wouldn't want to go
Bigger than 31s. Damn was I wrong . But I can't afford 1k for a new 4.5" lift plus another 1k for Tires.

My tires are crap and I have a camping trip
In a few weeks. Got to drive about 200 miles on the highway and don't want to risk it with crappy tires. Thinking I might just buy new 31s and call it a day :/

 

i have a rc 3 inch lift with 33s and only bump stopped 1 inch in the front. i already want to steal my dads 35x14.5 swamppers. get 33s and cut and fold rear, the trim up to the fender flare on the front

 

on a budget? sounds like your gonna need some wheel spacers, longer shackles and coil spacers. maybe you should post up your exact suspensions so the members with expierence can help more.

 

Got any pictures of your jeep? Does it have a rough ride?

My specs on the jeep are 3" series II rough country lift with AAL. Also have crager wheels. Think the backspacing is 4" but not sure. And I'm currently running 31" BFG Km1s

i have same wheels and lift as you. mine rides smoother then stock, i have been really impressed with the RC shocks.

3 inch series 2 RC lift with 15x8 4"bs crager 8s

 

Looks Good. Think I might have to steal your set up. Did you have to re-gear to run the 33's?

 

nope stock 3.55's i get 18mpg average on a tank(without wheeling) and it cruises at 75. it bogs a little and down shifts on steep long hills on freeway but nothing to complain about.. i want to reagear once im ready to get 35's next summer
