You know, 3" is a lot of lift for just 33's and unfortunately, I think you might be hard press to see some pics of this.

I'd agree with wayalife, 3 inch might be a little too much. I've posted my pic a couple of different places. I have a 2.5 inch skyjacker on 33's. I think it looks good (I'm biased ), but I could easily have gone with the 33's without a lift.

Default Lift

I have a 2" lift with 33" tires.

I agree that a 3" would look a little strange, to tall.

AJSJK i love the look of your jeep with the 2.5 in lift...do you really think that another .5" will throw that look off...i hate to say it because i will get a rash of s%^T from almost everyone on this sight but i almost think that the 35" and 3" fills the wheel well up too much? I just don't want it to look stupid!

2.5" lift and 34's (305/70/17) should be just right then! That's my plan

Thanks for the compliment! I won't be doing any hardcore offroading (weekend puddle splashing at most), for me it was as much personal preference as anything. I will say that with the 2.5inch lift and the 33's it looks like I have a lot of room b/t the wheel and the flare. I actually like that look, but others don't. Going up another .5 inch probably won't make a big difference, but I had my lift on for about a week b/4 I got my new wheels/tires and my stock 255/70/18's (which are for sale ), with the 2.5inch lift looked really really bad (to me).

Good luck, and do what makes you happy! I know I could have gone bigger on tires, but I LOVE the way mine turned out. Personal choice!

Unless you plan on doing a bunch of offroading, I think the wheel wells filled up looks great..I think they look silly when you have a lift too big for the tire selection.
