There's a big difference between "will they fit" and "how much flex will I have?" You can fit 32s under a 3" lift, probably with no trimming. If your gonna wheel it and want decent flex, start cutting. Prob 2-3"

Why not just roll on 31s? Makes no sense to DD 35s only to put 31s on to wheel. Especially after hacking your fenders to pieces to stuff them 35s on there.

Hope this is right spot for this question, I just bought a bone stock 95 xj wanted to put somewhere around 4.5" of lift but my wife drives it also so it has to be safe for my family and drive good down the highway! Any suggestions? Thanks

Mine has 4.5" with 33s. I let my wife drive it but not on the highway/freeway. It doesn't see very safe at that speed.

mine's fine at 4.5-5" and 33s at 70+ mph...I drive it every day without issue and never feel like I'm in any more danger than at stock height. If it's built right and set up properly it'll be as good if not better than stock.

I suggest a 3" lift and 30-31" tires.

X2 I have the same set up and I feel like mine handles fine at highway speeds. A good steering set up helps a ton

Does the RC double shear track bar NEED a drop pitman arm because it drops the mount so much? I'm thinking about getting it to run at 5.5 inches

I would think so. Imo you should look at the IRO double shear. It's beefier and not much more money.
