Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Clayton 4.5'' Premium Lift w/ Bilstein 5160 shocks.
Had to get those ridiculously overpriced Bilstein clamps too, because the metal clamps that come with the shocks look horrible.

thanks man I'm hopin so, originally i messed up and ordered 35's, but then realized after reading more that they would be too small for the clayton lift. so my 37's are supposed to be in today. i'll post pics as my wife send them to me.

in case anyone is wondering why the donut tires, I sold the stock rubi wheels and tires right away so i could get money out of them to go toward bigger.

original plan was 35'' Mickey Thompson MTZ cause they are great tires, but then i realized i need 37s so i got the pro comp xterrain's comin in today. I know they arent the greatest tire but they will do for the price for now. Next time I'll probably go with krawlers.
