They did a lot of trimming. Look how small the space is above the front tire before the hood starts.

Why don't you believe Dave lol? The front fenders are hacked but the rear looks like it. BFG's run small anyway

I see that, but look at the rear. He has a good 1.5"-2" clearance around that tire.

Cause I'm gonna run 35s, and I'm trying to determine how much I want to lift, if at all.

If only one person says they put 35s under 3" of lift, and he has minor rear trimming...I'm less inclined to believe that person.

And LCOG is a bragging point, so I'm not surprised when people exaggerate.

I was thinking an underrated 3" lift, or 3" plus a shackle. Or his tires don't measure to an actual 35". I asked him and he ignored me, so I asked for yall's opinions.

Even if he had a bigger shackle on its not a 3" lift. Maybe it's a 3" pack with blocks and longer shackles. There is too much ground clearance

Thought so. Plus both his build thread Jeeps got 4.5" lifts, and he keeps talking about wanting to go taller.

I've never talked to the guy; I just want accurate information so I can make the right decisions.

yeah. the rear looks untrimmed, and if those are 35s a 3" lift would not have that much clearance.

Not **** talking; just trying to figure it out. It looks taller, but maybe it's just the driveway. Pics would be appreciated, honestly.
