I should be alright with 35's on the pair of 44's i got... but anything more then a 37 would need some reinforcement right ?

This way, you can flip through the two and see EXACTLY what kid of difference the lift (and tires in my case) would make!
I did it when I did my lift!

this whole Just Empty Every pocket bug is soo seriously bad...

I was just talking to my brother outside (who has a 08 sahara and pretty much is what convinced me to get a JK) and we were talking about stuff we want and so on and he was like
"you guna be done for a while when you get the lift done ??"
(because he knows I am spending too much $$ already hahaha)
and I was like "ummm nahhh I am going to get the 35's before its summer summer and then I will be good for a while... well the 35's and some wet okels for the front and backs.... and well that and the cargo net cover thingy for the back and roof (the one you can stand on).... oh and well maybe a stubby front with a winch... oh and fenders... and then I will prob be done for a while... well I will need to get some lights going too... and oh I want to get trackbars and diff covers.... but then... well no I also want to get...."

and he was just laughing at me the whole time...

chevy m14

what lift do you have done ? and do you have any measurements before and after... or any other before and after pics ??

the combined picture really does give you a idea if you pay attention to details... like the position of the round orange fender marker and stuff like that will give you a good idea of where things have started and ended at

Nice video man! I hope we can manage to make something like that with all of ours. I've got a Mac with iMovie so we're good to go!
