I'd prefer to not spend a lot on it. If that was the only way to fix without swapping tires/wheels I'd consider it. Is there such a thing as a 1" lift?

Aside from the BB or a 1.5"-2.5" coil lift you can also look into installing either a 1" or 1.25" body lift instead. On my previous '08 JK I was running 33s with a 1"body lift with no rubbing issues...

As for the 1" lift, you can add 1" rubber coil spacers. They attached on top of your existing coil springs...

I will probably try and do that.

Anyone else have any suggestions? Are my tires not 33"s??

Mine done the same thing this week while I was pulling my bikes to bike week. I fixed it by cutting my fenders today.

Yes they are (285/70/17) is the metric version of the standard size 33" tires...

So the dealership is trying to tell me that my options are:

1. Buy smaller wheels/tires
2. Pay them to install a lift kit (parts and labor)

I told them that they're crazy and expect to be able to have four passengers sit in my car without the tires rubbing and since they sold me the vehicle exactly the way it is, and certified it as a CPO Jeep, they had to make it right. We'll see what they come back with.

nice looking jeep though. i hope the dealership cooperates.

They actually just called to tell me that they're ordering a leveling kit for me and installing it next week free of charge!

If its certified the dealership has to do something. That will most likely include putting stock wheels and tires on it to resolve the issue since certified vehicles are supposed to be basically stock.

You could try to swing buying the parts for the lift and they provide the labor as a compromise.
