Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default Photos - Lifts with stock Rubicon tires

Alright I have an X with the Rubicon wheels/tires. I am interested in seeing photos of any Jeeps with lifts kits and these size tires. I am looking at getting a 2-3" lift on mine and keeping the tires but want to see how it would look first. I figured why upgrade tires just yet since they are 32" anyways.

Thanks!

They will look a little small. I lived it.

It doesn't look horrible, but if you're concerned you could always just wait to put the lift on until you're changing the tires, not like you will need it with the stockers on there.

Here's mine with stock wheels/tires and a 2" FUll Traction BB . If you buy this lift, do not use the front trackbar relocation bracket. The steering geometry gets all out of whack and the bumpsteer is extreme.

Looks nice! If you dont mind me asking, how much was the lift and cost of installation?

I bought the cheap 2" BB with no shocks or adapters, it was only $125 or so. I installed it myself, so that was free.

I'll probably buy a different lift someday, especially one with longer shocks or at the very least adapters to give a little more travel.

Did you add any spacers?
