When it was still stock. 1995 ZJ Laredo Upcountry. Rolling on 235/75R15s. After the trail ride this day, I determined that I needed 2" lift, 31" tires, better bumpers and sliders. And, a little more time on the trail with this rig... Poor Jeep didn't know what it was in for after a life of highway cruising.
This is the trail up to Forest Lake, still stock height, but now rolling 30s. Again, 2" would make all the difference, but this day was over when we couldn't get through the snow pack a little higher up the trail... The guys with more lift and bigger tires weren't making it, I didn't even try.
Finally, I added Teraflex adjustable front upper control arms, Tough Country fixed lowers, 2" spacers front and rear and 31" tires. All the while, this was my daily driver, 100 mile round trip, and, managing 20 MPG or better.
Made my own sway bar disconnects. Allowed the front to work really well...
Overlooking Fish Lake, Utah...
So, I still need to fab some bumpers. But I have some sliders for a LJ that I can modify. If I need to go more hardcore, then I have my Ranger project...
Soon to be returned to the streets, and getting a HP D30 SAS and rolling 33s...
And, if my daughter gets a different rig, this thing will get 35s and as little lift as possible...

Heres my rig.
33s
4" front and 3.5" rear lift. (Got to work on that...)
rough county shocks
flowmaster exhaust
Found a huge mud hole to get it stuck in and then spent 2.5 hours to get her out.
8000LB winch on the way
New front bumper in the works
and a lot more to come.

10" of lift Dooooood, that's WAY to much lift! Mine is at about 8" and it's almost 2 feet taller then a stock grand! Im on 35's, and have plenty of room for them to stuff. Of course candy has a little trick up her skirt!
95 limited, aprox 8" lift, totally re built rear suspension, 5.2 V8, and 35's. Soon to be 1 ton on 38"-40" tires. I was gonna do a 44, but I think it would be better if I just did a 60. Why waste time/money right?
This is when she was "under construction" hahaha! In case you were wondering; 14" travel fox air shox, triangulated 3 link, and a 44a(temp fix for broken d35) Wait till you see what I have in store for the front!
