Smile specific lift setup picture thread

Hey guys. Don't just immediately post your rig I want a specific thing in mind here. Below is the list. If your rig doesn't meet qualifications then don't post a pic if it, thanks.


3" Lift, preferably Zone but others too
31x10.5x15" tires, preferably BFG AT or MT but others are fine too, just nothing super different
Stock rims
preferably 97-01 but that might be asking too much so others are acceptable
preferably green in color, again others are fine though
Either no wheel spacers or very small ones, nothing that sticks out super far


Just nothing that's super redneck or out of the ordinary, this is a pavement pounder it will never see any trails. DD. Anyway thanks.

Just to throw it out there, if you're going up to 31x10.50, you're most likely not gonna want stock wheels. Either get some with maybe 4.5" backspacing or so, or like 1.5" wheel spacers. If you're not hitting any trails, wheel spacers will be fine, but if you plan on wheeling it then new wheels are your best bet.

Could google it and find it in 3.2456 seconds. That's like every jeep. Stock rims won't work without spacers, will rub on suspension. Stock rims are 7" wide which isn't ideal for 31x10.50. I have a 3" lift with 31x10.50 ko2 on aftermarket rims, also had ko on it. specific lift setup picture thread-image-4161224555.jpg specific lift setup picture thread-image-2536002970.jpg specific lift setup picture thread-image-3292271809.jpg

Top photo 3" junk lift when I bought mine 31:50x15's using spacers and AAL with 15x8" wheels with 3.75" BS can use up to 4" max for clearance. This is the day I brought it home.

Not trying to thread jack here, but how do you like that rustys kit? I just ordered the same kit this weekend. Mine is actually going on the same wheels and 33's as well.

well here is mine.. hope its close enough to what you are looking for..

the lift is a RE 3.5"
tires are 265/75-16 think they work out to be a hair over 31" tall and about 10.5 wide.
stock wheels.. the tires sit under the stock flares and i have no rubbing issues.

Those are the wheels the PO put on the XJ I have, are those still 7" or are they 8"? I know they are Jeep rims just not sure if they are stock XJ rims.

Those are the wheels mine has. I'm pretty sure they're stock for some of the 97+.
