That looks awesome! What wheels are those, Wrangled Rubicon? What size tires? How did you rebuild your drive shafts? You didn't use a shim?

Finally got my lift in after procrastinating. CSo33rb leafs, one leaf removed. 1 inch adjustable shackles in the rear. 2934 coils in the front, with the one spacer on the passenger side to even them out. I used Jk red Rubicon shocks with bar pin eliminators in the front. I measured 21 inches from center of the axle to the bottom of the fender in the rear, and 21.5 in the front. I had 235 75 15s on at first. They were cooper, starfire sf340. It rode like a car. Then I switched to milestar Patagonia mt, 31 10.5 15. They don't ride bad, but it did change the ride a bit. I will probably get a second set of street tires for it.

31/10.5/15



235/75/15

Thumbs up old man Emu 3" lift and 31" TIRES

An OME 3" lift = OME springs + 1-1/2" seat/spacer to replace 1/2" seat in front and a full pack in the rear nets a 3-1/4" lift on my jeep
