Question 4.5" Lift on 33/11.5 pics?

Looking to see what this combo looks like, riding at 3" rn with 30's. I plan on going with that combo and trimming fenders to the first lip. Thanks - Ghost.

What size wheels are you going to run? There is like one tire available in a 33x11.5 on a 15" wheel but a TON if you go to a 16 or 17 inch wheel (285/75r16 or 285/70r17).

4.5" of lift will be plenty for 33s though - you'll like need to trim regardless. I still need to.

I have about 4" of lift (mixed and matched OME and PAC springs) and 33s and it's great. Nice and stable. I've run 33x10.5x15s in the past and currently run a 255/85R16 which is a little taller than a traditional 33x10.5 or 33x12.5 on a 15" wheel. Most standard sized tires measure less than what's advertised.

Less than 3" on 33x12.5. May soon step up to 35x10.5 boggers.

somewhere around 4-4.5" lift on 32s no trimming. 33s would look a little better but I like the added flex of a smaller tire while still retaining my factory fenders.

One thing comes to mind when I see the XJ ridesdirt put together......
"Did you ever know that you're my heeeerrrooooo"

I have written down my time table for parts acquisition and install. I MIGHT have everything by Christmas, then have it all on by the middle of Jan.
I just need very few minor parts now. Brake lines, sway bar end links, rear DS, SYE, & tires etc..... I like those Mastercrafts on there! And for some reason, the missing center caps in the Canyons look kinda cool. I have the same rims I'm going to keep for mine as well.
