As I am sure you all saw my 31s did not go well and I am gonna get 33s from someone. What else do I need to change if anything?
I dont have money for anything and have just bought a house.
I have 3.55 gears with a 29spline 8.25 rear I obviously dont go wheeling much at this time since I am in school and such.
Discuss....

Ok check this out
Im on a 27 Spline 8.25 with welded spider gears and I beat the piss outta my axle and it never breaks. Its just the driveshafts that I am doing through like candy.
Also i have 307's which isnt as bad as people make it out to seem.
Trim your fenders and you will be golden. You are 4.5" of lift? I am on 3.5" and all i did was trim the front. Didnt touch the rear. I didnt even change anything with my bumpstops.
33s are awesome, I need to go bigger now. I look at peoples 35's and even those look small to me but that is what I want to run.

I always said the biggest I will go is 33s and here I am about to get them I just figured I should be careful If I need to upgrade steering and such but like I said on NAXJA I did drive on them the other day a total of like 5 miles and my jeep rode fine, better than on the 31s I would say. except it rubbed in the front If I dont need to trim the rear for now that would be  |

you can just pull the rear flares off and you will be good. Trimming was pretty easy and I was scared to have my fenders cut but if you need help Will and phil are pros at it.
the reason you want steering upgrades is so your stock steering wont break. Banditt from Banditt Fab here in CT will build and install you one ton steering for 300 dollars. Stock tierods and other steering parts are weak as hell and if you just tap it on a rock its bent.
