Pics of Low COG Builds Off Road
I'm thinking of building my 2000 xj for a lcog setup on 35s. I love the idea of more stability. Ive seen numerous threads on those that want to see 4.5" lift or less and 35s but thats always with the rig on flat ground. I'm curious to see how well some of these setups actually work. Please post up you lift size and tire size along with some off road pics.

I have 4.5" front springs, but a tube bumper and winch, it easily sits .5" lower with them. pinch seam is level witht he ground front to back. so Ill call it 4" lift. 35" km2's, and plenty of uptravel

This is my brothers jeep I built him, 4.5 on 35's. 4 inches of cut in the rear and all the way to the top in the front.
We cut all we could on the rear then welded it all back together.

Im running 35x15x15 and they run great. If I try to go full lock I just barely get into the side lugs on my factory lowers.. if I rounded that nice little lip down or cut it off I wouldnt rub at all. I dont know the BS on my rims though. They are 10x15 I belive. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f36/new...6305/index154/ Look at post #2308 << Oh another thing.. im only at 3.5 inches of lift 
I did a mini tub to the rear fenders on mine though. In all actualality I have cut alot of sheet off in the past summer months up until now.
