Default Zj lift information needed

Hey guys, I am new to the off roading scene but I have been reading up on it and am looking to get a 2-3.5" lift on my '97 zj. I am still trying to decide what size to get and any pics and information from those of you with these size lifts would be awesome to help me decide, thanks.

there has been a ton of threads about this topic....



its around 3.5-4" lift 31" tires, the lower part of the bumper has been cut
you can fit 33s but more cutting is required. If your planning on doing a lot of off roading then you still need to cut the crap out of the fenders with 31"s

This looks awesome. Did you do the F > R swap? What else did you change out? Control arms? How does it ride? Does it rub the fenders now?

I bought it from a buddy who bought it like that. As far as i know its new spring, shocks and lower control arms. The ride isn't hateful for a lifted jeep and no it doesn't rub the fenders. I dont off road with this jeep, its used to haul my 4 wheelers around. If it did go off road it would rub while flexing.
