This is the look I want. This is another guy on heres jeep. I messaged but I think he hasnt been on. But this is what I want my jeep to look like height and width wise. How did he get the tires that far out and also what size lift is it?

Lift looks like it might be about 8 inches. It's only a smidge taller than my 6.5" lift.

The tires being out that far is a bit of an illusion because of the fenders being trimmed, but they're probably regular steel wheels (from the looks of it, Cragar soft 8's) with some good backspacing.

That looks like a rough country winch bumper.

that's an 8" rustys lift. he bought it that way. he's building full width axles now and got some tires that are a better fit for that height. you can probably reach him on naxja. nice jeep just way too tall

I'm confused now. Do you want a 6.5 inch lift or 8 inch?

Not much help, but this Jeep is no longer like this. Now its stretched on 1 tons and 39s. I saw it in the thread on two tone paintjobs. Here you go , now that should be the look you are going for. JK Wish we all had that kind of money, skills, resources. One of the best looking Jeeps I have ever seen.
