I've got the 3" Full Traction Ultimate. It has adjustable arms. It's been plenty stuffed and no rub on the pinch. I do have minor rub on the rear bumper and under the flares on the splash shields but it is MINOR and after another 10k miles it won't rub. No racing stripes for me!!!!
Here's a shot taken in one of those booths in the mall.

I installed a 2 inch coil lift from Rusty's OffRoad and didn't have to drill a thing.

The Rusty's kit doesnt look bad, did you get the full 2" lift? I've heard it can be a bit less.

My reasons for not drilling till after warranty, so I can switch it back to factory suspension if needed... dealers can be dicks, and can blame all sorts of things on unrelated items.

Yeah, and you've got to remember doc, even with non-adjustable arms (like mine), when the rear tire tucks in, it's going to move back as it tucks in, closer to the rear of the fenderwell, opposite of the pinch weld.

On my Rubicon Unlimited hardtop I gained a good 1 1/2 inch at the rear and a little more than 3/4 inch higher at the front. I still have to install my bumper and winch, which should bring the front down to equal the rear.
So far on the trails my articulation, with stock tires, is fantastic. I use the Jeep for my daily driver so I didn't want to go too high.

Clackey, How do you like your tires????
