Default Pics of what you can do with just a 3" lift?

Just wondering what others have gotten into with a 3" lift off roading wise. Share any pics that you might have.

What about "what you can do on 3" or less"? Im only up 2" and flex at this point is more limited by the shocks being OEM length, so I can't get that last little bit out of it.. That changes next Monday as I can finally get the longer shocks installed.. They have been paper weights for like 3 months now... Lazy... But I digress.. Like I said, what about 3" or less??

Height does not equal capability; that's for sure.

What size tires are you running? Just curious because I'm considering a 2 inch setup for my 01

Sorry I should have worded that different. I meant more what have you done with stock fenders and just a 3", haha. All though those are impressive pics!

those pics were 36" bias iroks, which measure larger than the 37" irok.

yup. i measured 2.5" when comparing a stock xj from axle tube to bottom of frame.



thats the lowest ive been iirc. i have run similar setups. 37's 36's and 35's on anywhere form 3" to 5" and currently 38's on an unknown amount of lift.(dont care to measure, all i know is it works)
