6.5" Rough Counrty lift?
so im pretty sure im going to go with the 6.5 long arm lift but im wondering if it would look ridiculous with the 33 12.50's i have.
so do you guys think i should go with a 6.5 with the 33's or the 4.5 with 33's?

In the jeep builds section there is a guy with the 6.5"RC lift and I believe 33s. Looks great! Check it out I think its called my rough country 6.5 longarm lift and other things the long way... or something like that. I just put the 4.5" RC long arm on my 2000 and I love it! I'm only running 32s but it looks badass. Only downside is I wish I would have went bigger! Seems like a common problem around these parts. If you want I could email you some pics of mine to give you an idea just pm me. Good luck with your decision.

I dont understand why people lift their rigs over 5" and use little tires. at 6.5" you can easily install some 37's under it. 6.5" at least run a 35" tire! at 5" you can easily fit 35's...........

We just did a 4.5" with 33's and the fronts rubbed bad! had to trim a good amount just be able to drive it on the road. I wouldn't do 37's on 6.5" unless your going to cut quite a bit. 33's on a 6.5" look perfect.

not bad. we have one in the shop right now. only have to trim about 1.5 in the front. thats a small trim job. you are able to turn with no trim job but will rub at locked. I have 37's on 5.5 and only trimmed 2" in the front.

After the lift settles in they rub more trust me we had to trim two inches up front. and that was just to turn into a parking spot. it will probably still rub how it is now off road.

33's on 6.5" of lift is great. Good amount of space and you wont rub. I stuck with 4.5" and 33's. Had to trim a little bit only. I don't get as much flex though.
I do like that I do sit a little lower then the 6.5" b/c of gravity thing. But long arm cruises nicely on long haul trips. can't beat that.
