Have been seeing a ton of lowered or big rimmed jk's! What is happening to our tradition I just don't understand? What's all your input??

Don't panic. You can still do whatever you want to yours.

You Know... The interesting thing is that clearance on those lowered JKs is still the same as it was... all that's lost is articulation, due to less room in the fenders.. and break over angles are screwed up...

Bigger tires add clearance.. not a lift.

I was actually brainstorming a 'lower 40' mod for my Jeep... which if I could figure out the fender situation, might not require a lift at all, and still be perfectly off road capable. Maybe even better due to the lower center of gravity. Which is the whole point.

Are you sure those are 22's they look smaller I mean the tire rim combo barly's get to the third brake light , looks like a 20" with a 275 street tire on a stock height X
