Here is my XJ currently on gas saver mode. 4.5" lift on 30s from an LJ:



Feels like so much power since I have stock gears, going from 33s to 30s.

Any more pics? I have ravines on 30s as well and want to go up to 4.5" from 3".

It looks really weird at first because I am used to seeing the Moabs with 33s, so imagine the shock when it goes down to Ravines and 30s, but I will take some getting used to.

At least I have overdrive at highway speeds again.

Sure, I'll get some more photos later. Remember that I don't have fenders so the gap looks a little more in my pictures compared to if you have fenders.

Friend of mine lives in a gated community where no vehicles can be kept in the driveway, they must be in the garage... He went out and bought himself a cj7 and carried it to the shop to have it lifted and such. After he got it home he realized it wouldn't go in his garage Had to sale it cause they wouldn't allow him to keep it in the driveway...lol

I had a friend in High School, he lived in an upity area and they wouldn't let him work on the mustang in the yard.
So he rented a bay at the local U-Store-It type place and just used a generator to power the compressor and lights, and it was his garage.
Also made a handy hide away when he had the police chasing him occasionally.

where i work (toyota offroad truck garage) they got some huge beasts on 40" tires and up...to get them in and out the garage they put some small *** tires on them to lower hight, if thats not enough they use bare rims ...

It has been raining so I could only get these, but it shows how much space is in the wheel wells.
