This photo shows mine (4 1/2" lift) with 33's but I now have (5) 35's mounted on beadlocks also that I have ran several times now off road.


Mine has been trimmed only and no bump stops, only rubbed one time when coming off of a 3' rock ledge on the right ft. tire.

All depends on how much you wanna cut and clearance. You shouldn't go by someone else's setup.

Is that really 4.5"? It looks like the rear sits about the same as mine and I'm at 5.5" or so.

Yeah 4.5" coils, 3.5" leafs w/ 1" boomerangs and no lift relocations. No bumpers fools your eyes to make it look higher imo.

Maybe it looks a litter higher because his (doesn't?) have rock sliders on it when I looked at mine (that does) and his. That would account for an 1 1/2-2".
