I always thought this to be an interesting topic. for me it has always been function over form, lifting it made room for bigger tires which make axle clearance which is your lowest point, so for me it was the least lift and the largest tire.
I see a lot of people with 4" lifts etc, with 31's. (nothing against anyone)
so why did you lift yours

 

I lifted mine cuzz all the stock components were worn out,I only went 2 inches,kept it real mild.Just running 235/75s.

 

mine almost killed us when it was stock. last winter, me and my wife went to Ft. Lee to do some after Christmas shopping. on the way back it was raining and i was going about 45mph. and all of a sudden, out of nowhere it started snowing. i didn't even get a chance to slow down when the jeep started sliding. it did about 2 360's and landed in a ditch. i put it in 4 low and i couldn't even move it an inch. so, i decided that it need some ground clearance and some decent thread, since the tires were junk and the rear leafs were collapsed. needless to say, i regularly take it through spots 2-3 times worse than the one that i got stuck in. besides it just looks beefy.

 

cuz the chicks dig it.

 

to be able to wheel more agressivly and to make it look better. always been into wheeling but being stock u just break to much.

 

more clearance and flex in the suspension just better capabilities and it looks great

 

honestly, i lifted my 2000 wj just for looks, but I lifted my cj for mudracing

 

nice we have some pretty good reasons so far. looks like most are for function over form.

 

priceless....i lifted mine for mudding and trail riding

 

I lifted mine because a stock XJ has trouble climbing the hood of ricers that cut off us in traffic thinking that they own the road. We just have to prove to them that life is not limited to roads.

 

why did you lift your jeep? to get to the other side!

 

i lifted my jeep because its a jeep thing im sure we all understand!!

haha no i lifted it because i found a set of 33's on black steels for really really cheap all brand new for 400 so i lifted my jeep to clear the tires

and because its my first 4x4 and first jeep and i couldnt resist lifting it

 

because i was tired of getting stuck and having to hold back from doing the things i really wanted to do in the trails........and because the chicks dig it

 

because i can haha

 

This is my third Jeep, but the first one that I could actually buy a good lift for it. For the past 3-4 years, I always wanted to have a lifted Jeep. So, I do it for the look, but I do wheel it, so that way I'll be able to go in more trails.

P.S.: Chicks dig it too



Funny you mention that....A freakin' honda cut me off on the highway this afternoon. It made my wife freak. (no she wasn't driving, I was) It didn't scare me that much because if he would have been closer, he would have probably done more damage to his car then mine....
