What size lift and tires?????
Can anyone tell me what size lift and tires these might be?
Found this pic online and looks about where I want my JK to be.
Any help is appreciated.

That would be my guess as well (3in lift w/ 35's)
Welcome to the board. And since your from the FL, you can check out our "sunshine state" area here:

Sweet,
Thanks guys.
And I'm guessing there'd be no issues with a 3" lift, as far as it being a daily driver?
As noted, I am in Florida (really no Moab type offroading here), and the Jeep is a daily driver for my fiance. We're not gonna be offroading it tooo much, but want to be able to do it if we want to.
We're more after a decent looking rig with off roading capabilities, and wont be pushing it to the limit or doing much rock crawling.
So agian, would this rig picuted......with apparently a 3" lift and 35" tires be adaquite, and still be a decent daily driver option? I don't want to go too rediculous of a lift and tires and then have it be a torture for her to drive to work (school teacher).
Thanks guys, ya'll rock (crawl)!

BB stands for Budget Boost. A budget boost utilizes your stock coils and consists of coil spacers ranging from 1/2" to 2.5". They're an inexpensive way to allow room for larger tires.

No problem. Since you're building up this Jeep mainly for looks, it sounds like a BB and 33s will get you everywhere you need to go... in style. 
Once you upsize to anything over 33s then you have to start looking into regearing, which typically costs over $1,000. Plus you'll take a hit in fuel economy, and even worse, your wife might not be able to get in.
I've done some pretty technical obstacles in Moab with nothing but a 2.5" BB and 32s. 33s would fill the fenders and look better though.
Good luck with your decision. Show us some pics when you get 'er done!
