That looks pretty good. I'm just worried about clearence. Are u geared? I think 4.5" will work jjust with some major bump stops.

i take it by geared you mean are the axle gears different? i have 4.88 gears in this picture with spartan lockers... but that's with my 30/44 set up... right now both of those jeeps are on blocks haha

as far as clearance goes, you should be fine as long as you tucked the rear and cut the front fenders... 35's will fit pretty easily

the lower you are the less bump stop you should need.... just get extended bump stops and glue some hockey pucks in to the correct height. thats what i did

Ooooo good idea. Yeah the main thing I'm worried about is my gears. I'd go to 5.5" but I would need new control arms.

keep it at 4.5" thats a good height. 35's will fit with less lift than that... my brothers zj, the one in that picture, actually has those same 35's on it now with the same lift it has on the picture, just a 4in... just depends on how much you want to cut. i'm thinking about lowering mine when i do my axle swap

I've got about 5" of bumpstop and some pretty good sawzall and sledge hammer work up front to stuff em. The km2's weren't bad to fit, they measured like 33.5" true but these q78's measure a true 35. If you regear and go to 35s, I suggest 4.88s. I have 4.56's and fawkin hate it.

Here is mine when I test fitted my 35s with my 4.5in lift. They would have rubbed if I had left them on even with my trimmed wheelwells.
