Stock vs. Lifted
 
I know all of you are probably sick of people asking questions about what lift to get and whatnot, but this is mildly different. I'm looking to lift my XJ eventually, and I was just wondering if anyone had any pictures of their lifted jeep next to a stock jeep for comparison.

While the lift/tire set up thread is great, I have searched this forum and haven't been able to find a thread that compares it to stock jeeps. So if anyone could post some pictures here, that would be great. Please just include the lift size and tire size with the picture.

Thanks

What I was doin before i bought my lift was looking at what I wanted it to look like combined w/ what i wanted to do with the jeep to find out what set up i needed/wanted. then figure out how much lift it will gain.

example: 3' lift and 31's.......3" suspension 2" tires

Then hit up the tape measure and measure the jeep up.

Hopefully some actual pics come in lol HTH

This is the transformation of my 91. From bone stock the day I brought it home, to the 4.5 inch lift with 30x9.50x15 tires, to the 6.5 inch lift and 33x.12.50x15 tires it has today.

Thanks for the help everyone. But I'm looking for pictures of a lifted jeep parked next to a stock jeep for reference.

You could always google search the topic. Other than that, I found a pic with a 3" BB next to stock. Looked pretty impressive for such a low budget inexpensive lift. Let me find the link.

Edit: Okay it's a 2" BB next to stock, guess I forgot. Anyway, here's the link, scroll to the middle-ish. On the right, 3rd picture down.

Edit again: I'm pretty sure these lifts are probably the cheapest but worst to get. (Not saying anything bad about the company)

That would be great. Also, I've seen the term "BB" alot, what does that mean? Sorry if its a stupid question, I just never really understood it.

The pic's only a back view but, better than nothing. I'm pretty sure it's budget boost.

It stands for Budget Boost. Usually means spacers added in for height adjustments (minor) rather than new front springs and rear leaf springs.

You got me. I do recall, you entered your jeep into the March or April Cherokee of the month, I think?

Edit: You arent by any chance near Long island perhaps?
