Default 35s with 4.5" lift anyone done this?

With the news about the new MOPAR RE lift I would like to see how 35s look on a 4.5" kit. Any pics??

Thanks,
justin

If you are doing 4.5 in why not go with bigger tires?
You can run 35's on a much lower lift.

I imagine these are not your daily drivers with it being this high...

Default Daily Driver

Yes, I am building a DD. My last one was a Diesel Excursion w/ 13" of lift and 38" tires.

With the dana 44s and Mopar 4.5" kit on its way, 35" seems to be the right choice. I would prefer a smaller kit (3") but the lifetime warranty is a big issue for me so 4.5" Mopar it is.

I am sure this is the way I will go... I am just looking for pics to satisfy my curiosity.

I am also considering the 1" M.O.R.E. BL to run the factory Rubi sliders with shrockworks sliders. But I am worried that a total of 5.5" will be too much cavity for the 35" to look right.

There are alot of reasons not to go that high. But, probably the main one for me is to avoid any rubbing issues and still fit in the garage.

I've got 35's on my 2 door Rubi. Went with the Rubicon Express 4.5" lift. I'm thinking of changing the springs to lower it to 3.5". Wish I has gone with the smaller lift the first time. A little easier to get in for a daily driver. Also the drivability of the short wheelbase jeep may improve with the lower center of gravity. It doesn't handle like my Grand Prix GTP.
