A bunch, break out the saw and make 'em fit

SOA is a lot of trouble done right. If it a beater and you want cheap go with an add a leaf in the front and a 2in block in the rear. With this and fender trimming (more in the rear than the front ) you can run 33s.

thanks guys. i thought it might. i'll prob. go with a small lift + shackles + cut the fenders out. 3.5- 4 in rusty's aal kit seems to be the best price-wise.

SOA seems cheap till you get into high/crossover steering

I have seen 33's fit if you trim all the way to the wood line
Narrow track Wag's just don't fit tires like the wide track Cherokee and J-10

that's what i plan on doin'... trim out all the way to the woodgrain. it will help my rust issues as well. then i'll spray line the rest of the body.

If you're gonna wheel that NT on 33's it'll take a 4" lift and a lot of trimming.
AAL's won't get you there and longer shackles up front will screw up your steering geometry and handling.
Go with Rusty's 4" front spring/rear block kit and then break out the plasma cutter.
