Default Rubicon w/3" TeraFlex & Stock Wheels

Hi,

I am getting a 3" coil/shock TeraFlex in a couple days on my 09 JK Unlimited Rubi and wanted to know if any pictures out there. I will upgrade to 33" or maybe 35" inch tires when time but with only 3,000 miles on OD I will live a little while with the stockers and the 3" lift. I will be getting the TeraFlex spacers as well.

Thoughts are welcome too.

With spacers you'll be fine, in my opinion. I ran my 3'' with the stock tires for about a month and had no problems and I don't think it looked that bad. Another option is sell your stock tires now while they are still practically new, might be able to get something decent off craigslist or something? Just a thought. I would start saving for 35's with this lift cause your gonna have plenty of room for them . Be sure to post pics when you get it done!


..HAHA just kidding, sorry been waiting to post that pic for awhile..

This is without spacers btw so the tires are a little sunk.

here's a TF 3" full arm kit with 35" BFG KM2s on stock wheels for your reference.

IMO 33s would be small for this lift.

That does look good, i do like the stock wheels too. I may have to consider that ! I like km2s as well.

Guess I need to think about the 4.88 to go with it.

Thanks

Do you get any rubbing with that set up? How's the day to day ride?

In my opinion, 35's look good but if you can make it work, 37's are just simply badass, I would kill for a set of 37's but that'll require some extra funding

BTW the 3" LA is next on my list, does he have any rubbing with 37's under there?
