tire size and gear question

[Chris Langdon]

i have 4" of lift on my j10 and run 33" superswampers

I have 4.10 gears

can I fit 36" tires with out scrubbing?

if not I am going for a set of LTB 34x10.5x15

I think J10Mike ran a 4" superlift and 36s on his stepside. Cant remember if he rubbed or not. Might want to PM him.

i have 36x12.50 TSL/SX on about 4-5 inches of lift..... they will hit off-road i'm sure. they look good while it sits in the shop though! ;)

i can get you a picture tomorrow.

forgot to mention i am putting a flat bed on next week so I will be able to clear in the rear

Might just need a 1" body lift

here is a pic of my buddies rig. he's at 4-5 inches of lift and running 36's... but some liberal fender trimming was needed.

**** that looks cool. I love Cherokee's

Size does matter.

Here is my J10 with 6" of lift and 33x12.50 TSL's (which measure 34" tall). This is with it flexed out. As you can see, it rubs in back pretty good. If you hack your fender flares off, then you could fit 36's. Just remember that step side's are rare, and you will have all sorts of people jumping down your back for cutting those things :P

Chris, I think the 36's are gonna rub on ya some. Beau's right. Pretty sure Mike ran this size tire on his stepside.

I'm running 33's on the Honcho with a 4 in suspension lift. Plenty of room in the wheel wells. Only reason I don't wanna go any bigger is because I'm afraid of grenading the axles.

Just something to think about.

Brad Chesley ran 6" and 35's on his Cherokee WT and they rubbed when flexed.

i just flexed mine out (with an engine hoist) and i get no rubbing, but its real close in front. with the wheel turned i'd get some at the top of the flare, and possibly on the front corner. in the rear they tuck inside the wheel wells and don't contact the flare at all. but remember j-truck axles are wider than w/t cherokees so your results may vary. also aftermarket wheels can make a difference. i'm using stock jeep wheels.
