Noah,

Looking good. Did the same with my ZJ but also have the UC Springs so looking for 32" tires maybe. Will be going with the BFG/AT too. Found the 31" at a local BJ's Club for $113/ea installed!!

It wouldn't take much trimming of those flimsy plastic bumpers for them to fit. 31's or 32's who knows?? :D

That's a good deal you found on tires!

Later,

You'll never fit the 32" with just the BB. The UC Springs give another 1" lift and with that theres plenty of room. It does hit the lower control arm on full turn but a couple of spacers will fix that. I still have my 30" BFG/AT's on it. Will get new tires in a month ot so, want to get all the wear I can from them

I see your pattern here with your cj with 7" of lift and 33's. You like a lot of space in the fenders don't you. ;) I did the same as you with the 4" lift on my cj except I trimmed the fenders and installed TJ flares and then installed the 35's!!! Big Tires! tongue.gif

I bet they would fit. It's only one more inch to stuff into the fender the other inch is on the botoom of the tire. Besides if your tires are not rubbing at full turn then they are not big enough! hehe j/k :D With the right amount of trimming it could be done I bet. Those plastic bumpers are just begging to be trimmed up! I'll probably just get 31's anyways since it's my DD and all.

The kit is a Rubicon Express budget boost lift kit. It cost around $200. It came with 4 shocks, 4 spring spacers and 2 rear bumpstops.

Anthony DeFalco - aczj@yahoo.com

He sells these to all the ZJ owners on Jeeps Unlimited BBS. Only comes with the spacers $70 with shipping. I put them on with stock shocks and bumpstops with no problems.

My new shocks that came with the lift are about 4" longer than the stock ones. I guess if you never unhook your sway bar it won't make a difference though. ;)

Hodie :D
