So does anyone else have a lift that seems smaller and smaller? I remember that when I put my lift on it seemed tall but then as jeeps go, it just didn't seem like it was enough anymore. I am trying to stay happy with it but it shrinks every time I drive it. So if you don't have (or want to spend) the money on more lift, what do you guys do when you feel like that? I just have another beer cuz that makes things look bigger.

Hell I've lowered the *** end twice now because of the p.o.'s horrible engineering skills. So yes, I have also noticed this phenomenon

Put bigger tires on.

park with a low spot at the drivers door that way when you get in you have a higher door

Your just getting use to it.

change air pressure often it will keep you guessing

Yeah the "stranger effect"
Its like sitting on your hand but for jeeps

I got mine a month ago and already feel stock again. This is very real. I just take the doors off(lightens it by 300 pounds) and it looks 10x better.

Oh oh I got a good one, get in it barefoot! Your shoes can add like an inch to your height!

Add another leaf from a leaf pack out of an S10 at the Junkyard, and get some 3 inch coil boosters. Should bring everything up to the height you want.

I have this bud that keeps adding more lift because he swears it's starting to sag.
Now he's 8" with 35's..
Don't be that guy.
I've been thinking about lowering mine for center gravity on the trails. 6.5 now seems a bit much for me..

I do need to get bigger tires but I am waiting till mine are bald. Lots of good ideas. the barefoot idea was great. I think that I am going to focus more on articulation and traction then lift and tire size. I don't want to be "that guy" and don't see the perpose of lifting any higher (that doesn't mean that I don't want to) reality can be a *****. Glad I am not the only one.

To hell with barefoot try getting in from your knees and let us know how small it seems then. Oh and please take videos!

phsycho

I guess that would make it seem high....or I would have to be high to try that. sorry but you aren't going to see any video.
