Resurrecting an old thread I know. But had to ask if you were running spacers with the factory MOABs with the 4 inch lift? Love the look of the MOABs but concerned with the backspacing for larger tires (33s or 35s)What I mean by 'comfortably' is that for instance, you can fit 33" tires on 2.5" of lift. Here is my TJ with a 2.5" OME lift on 33" tires (this is before I went to the 4" lift):

Notice how much less fender clearance / gap I have in these photos versus the ones I posted before with the 4" lift?
Well, that extra 1.5" from the 4" lift made a huge difference.
So, you can put 33" tires on 2.5", but the problem you'll have is that if you like to do a lot of serious off-roading you're going to reduce the amount of flex and wheel travel you have due to the lower lift height.
You'll most likely have to increase the amount of bump stop with 2.5" of lift to keep the tires from hitting the fender, since they're a lot closer.
So yeah, 2.5" of lift and 33" tires will work just fine. However, if you want to take it off-road and get a decent amount of flex out of it, I'd stick to 3.5" to 4" of lift personally.
I'm speaking from experience as well, since I've had both 2.5" on 33" tires and then moved up to 4" on 33" tires.
Nope, no spacers at allResurrecting an old thread I know. But had to ask if you were running spacers with the factory MOABs with the 4 inch lift? Love the look of the MOABs but concerned with the backspacing for larger tires (33s or 35s)
Love the look of your LJ. Been thinking about 33s but with a 4inch lift
That's with a 4in? What dose it take to do that ?
Oh I have read it a few times lol
Did you do the sye and stuff at the end of the article it said LJ's don't have to some times ?
Love this set up. How is the overall drivability? I just bought a stock LJ with very low miles and wanting to do a lift nearly just like this. - But just a little apprehensive as I will be doing many highway trips, any recommendations?Not sure if an LJ helps, but 33s, 1.25” BL, 2” lift and a spacer for the rake up front.
avoid the 16” moabs though, the tire options get very limited.

With the Zone lift, the front track bar lower mount is relocated,
...
Good to know. Well I guess Im looking for the same thing, as I will be doing a few 500 miles road trips every couple months. - Newbie here to the forums and tried looking at Jeep part sites to get an idea, but there is many different variations and reviews to where Im kind of unsure what to go with. Could you tell me the lift and components you purchased? Just looking for a stance much like yours, highway capable, trail riding on occasion and will fit up to 33's.
He's talking about re-drilling the hole for the stock front track bar mount.Pics of this?
Pics of this?
Zone has good pictures in their installation instructions about the track bar mounts.
Here's what my LJ looks like with the lift.
