They are connected. Tore all the rivets off the front of the rear fenders. Could just be mine though

An 8" wide wheel with 5-5.5" backspace will help. I said what I did because width is just as important as diameter. Every 1/2" further out the tire sits, that's 1/2" closer to the firewall than before.... its gonna be close, that's for sure.
Sal can you post close up pics of your front bumper mod? I think once I get my rear ac/heater lines deleted this week im going to have some fun with my front bumper. I want it identical to yours. What did you use to cut the bumper?

This is where most my pics are HERE Just basically used a jig and rotor saw and a razor blade to clean up the edges. I wish I could delete my rear AC lines but I use them especially when I sleep back there in the cold I use the heat. And every time I think I can loose my third row my jeep is used to transport 7 people
Thanks! Im hoping this weekend to do the bumper mod and paint my rocker pannels that are rusting from off roading.

Ok first off I know I have a WK and not an XK and I know that clearances are more stringent! Besides folding over the pinch weld and smashing the piss out of it, have you thought about using a longer bump stop to limit you up travel? Once you clear the rear of the well out, your fender while stuffing the tire will be your next concern. In the rear you can fold the lip of the fender and extend your bump stops to keep your tire from rubbing at full stuff. I know you guys have these crazy ac lines that we don't so I am not sure how those come into play. I just thought I would through some ideas out there, because I have done similar things to mine
Also, maybe I am thinking of the wrong XK, but the white one with a 2" lift that I know about had 34s (285/75 R17) I thought?

Bump stops will work I agree but they will limit the amount of flex you have. Ideally I guess hack off as much as you can then use bump stops to stop you from hitting.
