Ive got a 98, and I'm wanting to fit 33's on it.

Currently its stock with 31's. I get no rubbing at all.

So the question is, what can I do to fit 33's under my Jeep? Ive looked at the 2" budget boosts, but from what I can tell, this will not allow me to get the 33's under there? No one has yet to give me a completely straight answer to this question.

If this doesn't allow it, what will?

your best bet would be a 4in suspension lift

I agree. I have heard of people putting 33's on their TJ with just a 2 inch lift, but I believe that they had some rubbing issues.

If you don't want to get an entire lift, you can always get the budget boost, and also a 1 or 2 inch body lift.


Gun it and run it!

33's with a two inch lift should fit, but your going to run into rubbing issues, im afraid my 33's might rub on my 4in lift when i got the front sway bar disconnected, its a lot easier to have more then enough room then not enough, more room gives you an excuess to get larger tires in the future

A sawzall.
If we always have to lift our rigs so no rubbing occurs. Guys running 40s would have 15+" of lift.

First it is not a disaster to have some rubbing, who cares.
A little rubbing to keep center of gravity low is a good thing.

I'm NOT joking regarding a bit of fender cutting to solve slight rub issues.

2" lift and a bit of cutting works.

4" of lift and a little cutting gets 35" tires under there.
