Need some pics of your lifted JK if you are running a lift using the stock 18s with the stock tires or aftermarket wheels with the stock tires.

Go to the My Project Jk site and look at pics of my JK. 2'' Full Traction Econo lift with stock 18'' wheels and tires. I'm keeping the wheels and upgrading to 35'' BFG tires.

I'll have the 3" Terraflex with the stock 18'"s tomorrow, I'll try and get some pics before the 35" Coopers STT's go on.

Question, why would you want to keep the stock Duellers? In my opinion, these things suck!

By the way, there are quite a few pics on here with both 4 dr & 2 door rubicons with 3" lift on stock wheels/tires. If you are trying to get an idea of height until you replace those Duellers, that will give you an idea. The BFG's are about he sames height as the Bridgestones, just wider.

The reason for my question is this:

my JK is my everyday driver and I like the way the Jeep handles with the tires on it. After lifting the Jeep, I want to avoid the potential of the "bouncy" ride or bump steer. I dont do any serious off-roading, just my trips to some remote shooting areas where the extra clearance is beneficial.

Also, I am planning on switching out the wheels but planned on keeping the stock tires to keep the cost down. So I am looking at this mainly from an aesthetic point of view...will the wheels and tires fill out the wheel wells enough when the lift is installed.

Here is a pic of the 18" Procomp wheels I want to put on the Jeep.
