My setup (which I posted a pic of at the top of the page) is just a 3 inch lift, 30/8.25 JK moabs (think they are 4.75 inch back spacing, and the adapters which give about an inch and a quarter a side extra width, 35x12.50x17s. Feels pretty stable..but I will be taking it to 4.5" very soon. Not the lowest COG but definately the lowest ive ever had in my last 3 rigs.

Im sure it is pretty stable. Keep it at 3", throw some waggy 44 full widths under it, and keep it on 35's and you can call it lcog and very stable. Lol

Very nice rig though! Dern thing looks clean.

Guess whats in the rear?

I bought the jeep for a good price..only 90k miles on it.. the PO bought it, did a 4wd conversion..then decided itd be cool to cut the front fenders, leave the back fenders, add 3 inch spacers up front, put in an IRO double sheer trac bar??? and put 3 inch blocks in the rear.

I just drive er to and from work till I get my 3 link on and my RE leafs out back.

I still say all these people need to do is read your LCOG thread and they 'should' understand TRUE LCOG.

I've read ktms thread quite a few times (very appreciative that he wrote it) and I'm pretty sure I comprehend what he's saying.I've tried to build my Jeep with a low height and wide footprint. The last run I was on the Jeep always felt stable, even when I was staring at the ground in nasty v notches, and where guys were having issues flopping I drove through without issue. In the future I'd like to step up to larger tires, but I have so much more to do before I can make the leap. For now though, she works pretty well.
