Not sure what fender flares to put on. I've got a 2000 TJ with a 4" lift. I run 31x10.50s. I don't want the tires to be swimming under the flares so I've been looking at the Xenon 4" flats. Anybody have experience with those, or have other suggestions? I run the smaller tires because I've got the 2.5l so jumping to 33s isn't really an option, and that makes the smaller flare so appealing. Thanks!

My 2 cents is don't worry AT ALL. I run 31's on a 2 inch lift and have a decent amount of flex room. A 4 inch lift you could comfortably put 33's under.

I put the Xenon Flares on the G/F stock TJ for a little more clearance and because the OEM flares were failing. My biggest complaint is the side marker light (if that even matters to you). It's kind a cheap light, I bought a LED side marker light from autozone and used a belt sander to shape the light to fit/bolt onto the flare then siliconeed the opening with Black Silicone. The Bushwackers are nice (a bit more expensive) paintable (not easily). Sadly Bushwackers only sell full sets so if you damage one you have to buy a full set. That's not a good thing in my opinion.

I think flat flares might make those 31s look pretty small. I have pocket style flares on my tj with 31s and a BB and I like the way they look. I would have preferred the Xeons but the daughter didn't like the look. I certainly wouldn't pay twice as much for the Bushwackers, mine are an off brand, I think they were $200

I got sick of my tires (31x10.5) sticking so far out past the stock flares on my '05 so I recently opted for the Rugged Ridge 7" flares and love them!

I would put a before and after photo up but can't figure out how to post pics that aren't burried in HTML code on some random page

Rugged Ridge fender flares are a good addition to your choices. They look like stock ones but wider.

I had the 7" Rugged Ridge on the TJ when I purchased it (it had 33x12.5s) when I switched to the 31s I thought those flares looked WAY too big (and my rims have a lot of offset) I think 4" of flare is plenty

one more, I was actually taking pics of the new bumper but it gives a good look at the flares

Thanks for all of the replies. I ended up going with the 4 3/4" pocketed Bushwackers. I am not disappointed.
