Default 3 in lift on stock tires

Hello so my leaves strings are starting to frown is it good to put my lift done with stock tire size? I was going to wait until I got my tires to put the lift on but they're starting to make some noise I guess the shocks or bottoming out? Anyway will that affect the safety of the jeep?

You will be fine. You just might look kinda funny with tiny tires. I had to do the same thing when I was in school since I could afford tires right away.

I'm closer too 4in with the front higher then the rear I went from 32/11.5 tires to stock size cause the 32s were bald I've been runing like that for a good 2 months atleast and it's fine I'd say go ahead and lift it!
