[QUOTE="Dirty Dog, post: 463416, member: 24042"] The fenders, or the flares? Personally, I think it would look dorky without the fenders. So you need to drop it 3". You won't get that by going from 37" to 33" tires. Yes, they're 4" smaller, but only half of that is below the axle, so you will only lower the bumper by 2". And the is based on the unlikely assumption that the tire sizes are accurate. On the other hand, I did some googling and found this: The JK Wrangler has a curb weight in the under-4501 range, but GVWR is not curb weight. The GCWR includes the payload capacity. The GVWR for the JK Wrangler is 5400-5700 pounds. Which means your ride height limit is 27" to the bottom of the bumper. Which means you're legal. [/QUOTE]
