Default 33s on stock JK....with pictures.

I've seen a lot of threads asking about 33's fitting on a stock JK. Here are some pictures of mine with 33 inch Pro Comp Xterrains fully stuffed. The bump stop is touching so the suspension can not compress any further. So far I haven't had any rubbing issues.





Sorry about the crappy pictures.

Do you have any pictures at full flex with the sway bar disconnects removed?

Looks good, but I'm guessing you're not disco'd which may change things.

i got 33's (295/70r17) was planning on doing a stock suspension, but ended up putting on 1 3/4 spacers up front and 3/4 in the back, 40$ bucks per pair i figured they were worth it, didnt want to rub

Mine was like that for a while. At full lock and stuffed the tire rubbed pretty good on mine. The back rubbed pretty good too, nothing serious enough to damage anything. If I would have disconnected the sway bar I probably could have ripped the front fenders off at full lock.

For casual driving and trails it would be just fine.

Nice look Davidgogiants - any driveshaft issues with the 2"? How does your gearing feel with the 33's? That's probably the combo I'll go for when I wear out the first set of tires.
