Default picture request... 3" or 4" lift on stock tires and wheels??

Hey everyone. I know this picture request sounds dumb, however I am planning on a 3 or 4" lift for my 08 Unlimited Sahara in the near future. It will take me a while to save for the lift in the first place and then save even more for the $1500-2K in wheels and tires after that. I was just wondering how goofy driving around with a 4" lift and stock wheels and tires would look if I had to do it for awhile while I saved for the bigger wheels and tires? Any pictures would be appreciated

When we did my lift, there was a point where we had the front lifted and the rear still stock, jacked up at the nose with the tail squatting. We pulled it out of the garage to swap ends and i got a good look at it from 20feet away. It was a strange sight, unfortunately it was night and the pics were terrible. Reading your post made me think of my mid-lift JKU, and laugh.

I hope someone can post what you need. I'd like to see it too.

Here's my old JKU with the stock SRAs. It has a TF 2.5" coil lift and a 1" Body lift.



With 35s.

Two weeks ago I installed a RC 3.5" lift on my Rubi. Last week I installed the same kit on my wife's Sahara. This instal took a lot less time since I wasn't constantly checking the directions.

I know I am resurrecting an old thread, but this is a question I had and was hard to find. And I am sure it will keep coming up, so just figured I would add my .02 in on this one! AEV 3.5" Dualsport SC Lift on light 2 Dr with stock 17" wheels and 255/75/17 Goodyear SRAs

Whats the point?
The lift does not do anything for you except make the ride more dangerous both on road and off. As far as looks, a big lift with little tires looks dumb and shows you don't know anything about lifts.
