Default Lets see your 35" with stock rims!!

So I just bought a JK Unlimited and was thinking about putting a 3.5 -4" lift on it with 35's, I also am thinking about keeping the stock 17" rims on it. So I really want to see what it looks like.

Thanks!

I would recommend a 4 inch if your going to do any flexing. This is 4" with 35s and as you can see I flexed that to the fenders not to mention I have a stiff lift too

2.5" lift, wheel spacers, cut flares and no bump stop changes. Fully flexes everywhere on 35" Km2s. Extremely minor rubbing in the rear on HARD articulation

Thats only a 2.5" lift?, looks good. Im afraid of getting to much of a lift and the spacing between the wheel and fenders looking to rediculous.

2.5" coil spacers, (so there is no variant in actual springs) and cut flares, nothing more.. To be honest, if I had hardly any more lift, I'd be on 37s. (real "37s", not "KM2 37s").

However the advantage of space in the well is I do not have extended bump stops, it has pretty good flex for what it is. There is still some in it in the RTI ramp in the front, I believe the rear stock shocks are hanging me up on flexing more. However I rather not twist the stock arms/bushings any more than that, I am already pushing the stock components as it is.

Default 2.75ish lift with 35" hankook rt03s

I have JKS ARCOS spacers up front maxed out to 2.75 and 1.75" spacers in the rear with my 35's on stock wheels. I also have spidertrax 1.5" wheel spacers. The tires don't rub on the trails even at max flex because the tires tuck under the flares (see pic). On the road they used to rub if I had big dudes in back and hit a bump but I've lowered the bumpstops to fix that.

How much of a total lift would you get with a 3.5" lift and 35's?
