Hmm... I'm lifting eventually just was hoping to fit these till then. Probably end up getting these 235 mt's I saw for cheap while I save for the proper lift. End plan is 3" on 31's w/ the wheels I was just asking about. Just don't have the funds all at once haha. Maybe ill buy the wheels and just let em sit in my garage as motivation till I have the cash for tires and lift at the same time.

Tires look to be about 33" tall, however they aren't as wide as most 33" tires. Those are 16 or 17" rims, so the tire size is probably metric, likely equates fairly closely to a 10.5" wide tire with around a 4-5" lift or so. And X2 with above, just those headlights are around $1000.

haha...yeah probably. Not interested in the extras. Just curious what size lift and tires. The wheels are the moab replicas in gun metal which I really like.

With the angle and the front tires turned it's hard to tell exactly how stuffed those tires are but given the stock flares on the rear I'd imagine either a VERY well bump stopped 3.5" or 4.5" with 285/75/16 or 285/70/17s (33's)

Is the XJ Critical Path Long Arm Lift Kit by Iron Rock Offroad a good lift? I want to put a 5.5 and run 33-12.50s but idk. The lift says you can run 33s no problem but can I run 35s with no problem if I wanted to?

I'm looking for a good leaf pack with bushings and a rear shackle with less than an inch lift or a no lift shackle...
I'd like about 4" lift in the rear... suggestions?

The Super Flex 4.5 short arm? Awesome Sauce!!! I've had it for about 2 years and love it. But keep in mind I only care about offroad moderate/hard-core and it's not my DD. Probably not the most plush street ride.

Rubicon Express 3.5" leaf seems pretty quality and popular. 1" JKS shackle as well. Should put you around 4.0" to 4.5" depending on how much weight you have back there. Spare tire, jack, tools, etc.

Lots of mixed reviews on that kit but it seems most of the negative stuff is from guys that have never had it. Also the recommended tire size is set with stock fender in mind. If your fine with trimming and bumpstopping you can get a lot bigger tire under the same lift.

I got the RockKrawler 3 link long arms. I'm about ready to install it tomorrow.
The instructions says to put the arms with rubber mounts on the frame and the joints on the axle, but I googled the pictures on the internet and I see that many people run it the other way around.
Is there any difference? What's the pros and cons of running the joints on the axle end and the frame end?
