If you have the stock 32 inch rubicon tires it will look fine. If you have the street tires I would save your money and upgrade all at once.

It won't look funny. but you gain real inches when you put new tires on.

I would skip the leveling kit if in the future should you throw on new rubbers .

Well I was putting in the kit to make room for new tires. Cause i have a stock X and I didn't think any bigger than the factory tires could fit

you can fit 35's if you cut your stock fenders and add some longer bump stops

Hmmm... Well see I don't know which is better to do. Cut that stuff, or just put that teraflex lift in it.

well the chopped fenders will eliminate more rub then the leveling kit.

you could always get a set of flat fenders and gain enough clearance.

Stock tires on 2.5" tflex on blue 4dr


Mine on 37"

You sure can. plastic or steel. I like the plastic ones they flex instead of sheet metal and body.
