Some trimming and extended bumpstops should be plenty
what all will need to be trimmed?
Just trim the fenders, thats what I did...worked like a charm

Just the fenders.
I'm running a 4.5 lift with 33's
if you cut the fenders I saw cut them off! Gives the XJ a more aggressive look in my opinion
Anyway I can take the flares off for now and get away with it, or will they still rub?
they will still rub. I've got 31" on my 4.5" lift trimmed about 2 off the front and about an inch off the back. The bead weld is a lot closer to the factory edge in the rear than it is in the front, so just make sure you trim below the weld. Also may need to relocate your washer fluid res unless you do some serious bumpstops

Ok I feel really stupid now, i have done more research on my Jeep. It has a 6 inch lift on it. Guess thats what i get for buying it like that and not doing it myself. So what do i need to do to get 33x12.50 under it? Thanks
Nothing really, id still cut the fenders off. My friends has a 6.5" lift and is running 32x10.50s and she's still tearing up her fenders
That is really good to hear, Im needing tires pretty bad and I wanted to make sure I could fit the size I wanted before I got new tires. Should I upgrade to 15x10 wheels or do you think the 15x8 wheels will work?
I'm running 6.5" lift with 33's very minor trimming to my fenders and no bump stops. So far no damage had been caused to my fenders from the tires hitting them.
