No issues yet. Haven't been on a trail ride yet. I'll report back after this weekends EastCoast meet.

I am thinking of doing the same thing - 33s with no lift (at least not for several months). I have a black Unlimited X and have been considering wheel/tire combos just like jared1843 and ozmonkey.

Jared - how do your tires ride? Did you have rubbing issues before your lift? What backspacing are those Soft 8s? Do your tires stick out from the fenders?

ozmonkey - yours looks great as well. When I was planning on buying a Sahara, I was set on the same wheels/tires you are running. Going to the X with unpainted fenders, I am rethinking the wheels and may go Soft 8 or even Pro Comp Streetlok.

The tires ride great. I have had no complaints. They have only a small amount of on-road noise. They stick out of the fenders, but only an inch or less. The cragers have 5" of backspacing, and I had no rubbing issues without the lift.

Here's mine, 285/75/16's (32.8"x11.4"), no rubbing issues at all (4.6" back spacing):





I was planning on a lift but now I think I'll leave it be until the 3yr/36k warranty is over. Don't want to hear the dealer try to blame the lift when the radio craps out!!

is the 4.6 backspacing something that you have to have and do the wheels come in different backspacing?

Mine are 265/75R16 (about 32"x10.50") and at full flex you couldn't slide a piece of paper between the tire and the inner fender. Might be my wheels making the tires stick out a little, but I think I'm at my limit with no lift.
