Depends on the quality of the lift on how well 33s will fit and how much flex you get out of them...

This is my RE 3.5 Superflex kit...





Granted, it really was closer to 4.5 because I find RE tends to give you more than they claim.

Do you have information on the lift because that could help determine the value. What else does it come with? Extra tops?

i fully intend on picking up a "rangler net" to ensure the safety of them when riding with the top down... but i want some advice from you guys....

A)dog question
B) how much would you pay for this thing
C) if it has a 3 inch suspension can i do a 2 inch BB lift (for a total of 5 inches) and fit 33's?


thanks in advance guys
A) The dogs should fit without much problem. If you found an Unlimited that'd be a nobrainer. I have an 85 pound dog and am basing my guess on that.
B) Price would depend on a lot of things. When I was looking for mine, 100K with a 4.0L in good shape put a lot of them around 10K.
C) I have 33x12.50 BFG All-Terrains with a 3'' body lift and there's no rub on any plastics. I know others are saying there will be rub with this set-up, and that's what I read leading up the purchase, but I have no rub. I haven't seen any trimming from the previous owner, either.

Depending on the bikini top you have, I'm interested.
