well guys im finally gettin it but now that its here im havin trouble deciding what i want to do. what do u guys think would work out better on my 99'....4in with 33s, 5in with 33s, or 5in with 34s, also i am gettin the 4in superlift and 1in bl (if i go with the 5in) and my question is how bad will the spacing between the bumpers and the frame be with the bl? i wasnt aware that there would be any spacing between the bumper and frame until one of my friends brought it to my attention, hes a jeep guy so i didnt believe him so i thought id ask the experts


-thanks

go with 5 inch and 33's
2 inch body lift I have and the bumpers do not look bad as no brackets for bumpers that i have....

it all depends on you. I do not mind it at all...

good luck with what ever you decide.
 






hell I would go with a 3'' body and 4'' suspention with 34's.
 






yeah i think 5" with 34's too itll fill those fenders in pretty nice
 






4" suspension, 2" TT, 3" body lift, 35's.
 






It depends on your drive habits and preferences. If it is for offroading 4-inch and 33s wil work better. The larger the tires the greater the need to re-gear $$$$$. The more lift the worse the overall performance (handling). Of course if you just want to look cool and ride high then let your conscience be you guide.
 






well with school and workin ill be wheelin every weekend if that so i guess u could say its 60% wheelin and 40% looks, and i would love to go 6 and 35s but i just dont have the money and i am way too impatient to wait another couple of months to save up, i was thinkin of goin with the 4 and 33s and see how it looks and if i decide i want that extra inch ill go with warrior shackles and torsion lift, im just worried that the 4 and 33s will be too snug with the fender but well see how it goes, ill be puttin before and after pics when its all said and done, thanks for your guys help
 






it shouldnt be too snug in the fenders, i have 3" and 32's and could easily fit 33's or maybe even 34's
 






wow, i dont see how you could do that dave, it must be the 2nd gen cause i got 32s on a 4" suspension lift
