I was wondering what kind of lift & tires you guys run on your DDs. I have a 3in lift and 31in tires and I feel going any bigger would be impractical. Any input? Pics are great too!

I'm running a 3" lift with 33x12.50's on my daily driver. Mileage ain't the greatest but its better than some.

4.5" on 33's. Gas mileage has gone down since I switched from the 31's.....but man it makes a big difference when I'm wheeling it!

Kinda wish I had gone with the 35's. I will next time I buy tires...after I've been able to regear.

50 miles round trip to work every day and 420 miles every other weekend making that Highway 20 ride.

5.5 on 33s. I really want to go 6.5 and 35s but I'm enjoying my 15mpgs right now.

4.5" all around, 235/75/15 firestone snowtires. They're tiny and puny looking since my lift went on a few months ago, but college doesn't grant me money for new shoes for the jeep. :/

Neither are right now. I'm really thinking about getting my 90 going and selling my truck to drive it every day. It's got 4.5" and 31's. My 00 has 3" and 31's but I have big plans for it!
