I noticed the WK crew has an "official lifted WK pictures" thread I figured the WJ's needed one too
I also have an ulterior motive as I have not lifted mine but want to...with so many options I would like to see pics with descriptions of the kit used,springs and shocks, any other suspension mods done to make the lift work and be "safe" ...show 'em off peeps I need inspiration !

Honestly I think yours is the first red WJ I've seen so there must not be a lot of them. I like and would like more if you would please paint that front bumper already......jeez:lol:
Looks good Dustin! Why not give it the "Columbia" treatment with silver replacing the charcoal on the Columbia. I personally think the Columbia charcoal accent would look great against the red. Here it is from WJJeeps.com

I dont know that much silver down the side and it will look more like cheaps. I think I feel some rainbow tendancies coming on already :slapfight:
I was thinking I would paint the grill the same color as the front bumper instead of the body color like in the pic above. Maybe the rear bumper but I dont know about the side cladding, going for something different so just doing the columbia kind of defeats that.
I did have rubbing issues (in reverse). I'm running 265/70's because I got an insane deal so I figured I'd make em work otherwise I'd do 265/65 or 255/75. My bumper is actually notched on each side because the tread grabs the bumper cover and still does just a little bit. My fender liners are chopped and I am running a 1" spacer up front as well. Measuring the lift, on the rear those springs gave 3" of lift and the front were only giving 2" of lift so the spacer became a necessary thing to solve the raked front end. The tires fit much better but at full lock they to rub just a touch on the inside of the wheel well. Next time around I'm going to a 255 to see what happens.
As well in those pictures I'm not running the spacer; I'll have to post a newer picture up one of these days.
And blackbird; I do need rock rails....badly. I smashed my one rocker in on hells revenge... I had a few guys giving me crap for not having rock rails and doing hells revenge, and of course I finished the trail with a smashed rocker...fortunately the plastic cover protected the paint finish...
285/70/17's on JK moabs
4.5" LA's (Custom setup)
I have 35's on the way!! Since there is enough room there with my bumpers and flares. I already re-located the washer bottle too.

32's is pushing it honestly but with a 4" lift they look good on there. I have a 3.5" as well that I run 265/70's and I had to do some trimming to get them to work...
That's odd. We have an 01 LTD which currently has a 2" lift and runs on 275/65/17's and we have no issues at all. Looking at going to 6.5" long arms and 35's. Others here in Queensland, Australia run this combination and have no issues.
