You're joking, right? My tires don't rub anywhere. They fully tuck and don't touch, anything. Your 33's are cute tires though. I see lots of girls running around the mall in their Jeeps with them. Perhaps you're in the wrong section because you're clearly over your head in this conversation.

You also missed the sarcasm in the post you jumped on initially before you started talking out of your ass in regards to what Jeeps you know nothing about are capable of. I'll try and lay it on thicker next go round.

I had my post removed, did you report it like a girl? Or is the mod just on his game? Based on your other posts here and elsewhere I wouldn't doubt you reporting it lmao.

Too bad my response was deleted. It did a nice job of pointing out your issues. Oh well

Again we have a preteen response. Lmfao. Who said anything to imply what you're saying here in a patronizing manner? "Return all lift kits" etc? What a joke. You really can't handle this forum thing it doesn't seem like.

I was multitasking and missed that very obvious clarification.
You're on stock suspension on 40s? I call bullsh*t because mine is stock with 1.5" front spacer on 37s and yours is way higher than mine. Or was that a joke? I can't tell

Also.....seeing as how mine actually do "fully tuck" (which I would consider being able to fully compress stock bumpstops) you must have big bumpstops or something because if I removed any more material for increased room for say a 40", I wouldn't be able to mount a flare even

I'm just curious as to how you mean that and what suspension you're actually on. 40s and no lift I don't see how that could be true based on mine on 37s and leveled

Jordy you're being associated with Jonathanjk who behaves like a 13yo girl. And from what I can tell gained his knowledge from reading forums and peoples posts who just spout rhetoric and think it passes as knowledge. He's basically done the same stuff in my thread and what I've read here which isn't everything I will say. So preoccupied with being "right" he can't listen to what others are saying and getting at like in my 37s and no lift thread.

We have a friend that successfully runs 35s with no lift. Granted, he does drag the belly, even in a 2 door, but he didn't want some monstrous lift. Before we took our JKU up to 4.5," we were running a 1.75" spacer lift on 35s. In our opinion, that was a better option. The extended bump stops help to reduce the tire run on the inner fenders and add just a hair of extra clearance. No judgement here, though. Whatever you decide works best!

Default i didnt buy 33s to please you

i have 33s because they fit my need. girl guy whatever. In fact they are like 31.5 inches in height smaller than stock even. Im not building the jeep up on stilts to impress you guys . your comments obviously show you look down at other people
man or women who drive jeeps smaller than yours lol . perhaps the finger you choose to post in your photo would be rammed up your tail pipe if you climbed down off your moon buggy

i dont claim to know everything about jeeps either, ive had lifted trucks before and i know the intended purpose, your comments are just rather juvenile to the facts.

Not every one needs 40 " tires and lift kits (some may benefit through flats and 35s or 33s) and because you think your the big shot here because you dumped all that money into a jeep dosent make you taller as a person. In most cases their is more than one way to to get where your going

http://glossynews.com/society/human-...er-big-trucks/

i do take my jeep to the mall to the post office and its a dd and good for my needs and off road as well (however lets say i added flat fenders with my cute girly tires 33s as you decribe them ,that allows more room for my tires to articulate) i dont drag my belly now so this wouldnt change that aspect . Are you saying all jeeps should be used in terrain that will drag any parts? I mean really. the jk forum has all kinds of jeepers. and the vendors intention was posted for just this reason. not for two tall jones only

your jeep looks silly to me or undesirable for my need it would be stupid to add all that for the average person who knows how to get around obstacles
