even though i cut the flares. to run those 33's i still need to cut some more... and i think i might have jammed my front tire into my windshield washer tank n cracked it.

Looking good Doug. It does look like you need to trim the rear section of the front fenders/flares some. When you lift on short arms it pulls the front axle toward the rear a little bit and I can see it's not centered in the wheel well. I would just trim that section and add bumpstops.

Once you trim the front fenders in that area right in front of the doors you shouldn't rub at all when flexed. You have plenty of space above your tires so if you hit your flares then you need bumpstops. I wish I would have done that to my XJ rather than grinding my tires into the wheel wells all the time. You don't need uptravel like you need downtravel and allowing one side to come up too far will limit the downtravel of the opposite side.
