German's Lifted Rubicon
Well,.......Here it is. Let me know what you think.
Full Traction 3" Economy Lift
M/T 17" Wheels
BFG 35x12.50-17's
Also, do you think I should put the White Letters out? You can see them in the first pic. I have mixed feelings about white letters out. Some good, some bad.
The rake from back to front is more than I like. I will probably add the 3/4" spacers to the front when I add a bumper and a winch. Hope to hit the Telico trails soon. I'll be sure and post some flex pics.

Looks really good. I am planning on that lift too. How does it ride compared to stock?
I was just planning on 33's but maybe I will have to go with 35's. Your's looks really really good. Who cares about fuel economy right!
Also, what rock rails are those? I like them too. I am trying to decide what kind I want. The wife likes the purejeep ones right now.

Great lookin rig. I also vote for blackwalls out. Heck of a lot less maintenance and the white letters on the inside will turn black shortly and you wont even notice them.

VERY nice looking Rubicon. That's how I'd like mine to look in a couple months.
Did you notice a loss in acceleration with the 35" tires?
Also, can you tell me how far your tread is sticking out beyond the edge of the fender flares? That's an inspection issue where I live.
As for your tires, chalk me up under "black side out".

Looks Awesome! Quick question. With the 3" Economy kit did you notice if the rear tires moved forward in the wheel wells at all, and if so how much. One of oyur pictures looks like it is father forward, but with the angle of the pictures, and the style of the fender flare it is hard to tell. Thanks! Hope to see it on the trail when I go to Tellico.
