Default FT 3" Ultimate with 32" Rubi tires

I'm trying to decide if I can live with driving around on a 3" FT Ultimate lift with stock 32" rubi tires for a while until I can afford some 35" Toyo MT's. If anybody has some pics of this I'd like to see them!

Sorry bro, I ran the same setup as you did for a few weeks bu never took pics! At first I added spacers so wheels could have a better looking stance, that made it tolerable. After a month I had to get bigger tires cause "everyone else had em." LOL

Haha, yeah I have spacers already so hopefully that will help. I'm hoping it won't be anymore than a few months before i get the 35's. I have the RC 2.5" coil lift on right now and it doesn't look too bad but I figure the FT lift will get it up there quite a bit higher.

Your jeep would look like a roller skate with 3" lift on 32s

The FT will settle quite nicely to an almost exact 3" if you add bumpers and a winch. Other wise you're looking at 3.5". I bet you'll last no more than 2 months before you go for 35's, at least I couldn't!

I couldnt wait that long either. Got my 35's on last weekend.
Like augie said, I got 4" out of this lift and the front settled down with the weight.
Now I need a rear tire carrier to level it out.
Here's a before pic for ya. Too much room in those wheel wells!!

Thanks for the replies guys. I think you made up my mind for me. I don't think I could drive that around for very long. Thanks again!
