Here's an idea - until you get your 35s on the 4 inch lift, load up front and rear of Jeep with cement chunks to depress back down so your 33s look good again.





Just kidding.

You will be absolutely fine. If you have a quality lift, installed properly, you won't have any additional issues. I've been running a 4" lift for over 2 years with factory 32's with no issues or problems. Daily driving, Moab and high-speed highway driving is effortless and the ride is smoother than factory.

Here is mine 4" which actually netted about 5.5" not a fan of lift (skyjacker) and can't wait to upgrade to a long arm and coilovers but thats much later in life... But I don't thing it looks goofy at all.

I done 3.5 RE with flex joint adjustable control arms and I can rub my 33's. It's all about the flex and how much you want to do. I honestly think it looks stupid to have a fender full of tire and can't flex due to this.

Thank you. I love my goofy looking Jeep. I get a lot of comments on it, but I have never had anyone tell me my tires are too small.

Thanks, but im not that special. I always had the plan of dynatracs and 35's as soon as my 33's wore out but, well... times, situations and plans change. The money i had saved for such things has long since been spent on greater needs. So I just have to be happy with what I have; Which I am. I am just happy to still have my Jeep. I am doing ok. One day at a time & waiting for the next battery of tests while hoping and praying for good news.

Now one more question: Should I go w/ Bilstein 5100's or pay more and go with Fox?
Fyi - The black diamond lift is what I have and it actually gave me 4" of lift.... I went with the bilstein's and love the ride....
