Hmmmmmm. I think you will be able to see over traffic better than at stock height. Not really sure What you're asking.

Poor grammar and you are posting in the wrong section.
Is this like a public opinion poll???

I had a xj with 4.5 lift and 31s and it was good for me but 33s would be better

I have a 4.5" and 31's and like it. I did stay with 31's for gearing purposes though, and will probably re-gear and switch to 33's on the next set of tires.

3" on 31's... loving it. I parked next my buddy's 2002 ZJ with a 4.5 lift and 31's... mine looked higher and more aggressive.

Winning...

2.5" on 33s. Once I get my D44s built and under the Jeep it will be roughly the same height with a mid arm 3 link and 35s. To paraphrase the LCOG thread, if you're afraid to cut and bumpstop, a capable rig is clearly not a priority

Not enough tire for a 4 1/2" lift for sure mine is 4 1/2" wit a 33x12:50x15 and plan on going to a 35 soon.

Here is mine when I bought it 3" lift (a crappy block and spacers setup) with 31's.
