Default 2 door with a 6"

Just wanted to get an idea of what my jeep is gonna look like with a 6" on it, if anyone has any pics I would love to see them. just havent found many 2 doors that have gone that big
Even a 4" suspension and 2" body would work....

thanks for any pics you post!!

I know they had one guy on here running a 4in sus with 2in bb spacers on a green 2-dr. Had 36's on it. Can't remember his name though. And yeah , it looked badass.

Yeah, It looks tall on a 4 door with 37's. IMO

i like to keep this low cog, I dont like tall lifts. The shortest it can be with the biggest tire you can fit.

I've been debating on putting 37's on my 3" lifts.

True I'm with you on that one.Maybe I should put on 40s instead when I do the Hemi swap and D60s since I'm already at 5+" of lift with my 35s.

Anyways, back to the subject at hand...there has to be someone with 6" on a 2dr

Considering that for Stage 2 as well... but thats at least a year away. Only way I could imagine 6 inches on a 2-door is if you stretched your wheel base out...THAT would be badass. In my opinion there's not alot that cant be done in a 2-door with a tuned 4 inch system, 37's and an experienced driver. Have you looked into evo's coilover systems?

I don't know why so many people on this forum think that just because you have a lot of lift on a jeep means that you have to fill the entire wheel well with tire. This has really been bugging me and I had to get it off my chest.


I think that a 6" lift and 36"s would look great. I'm sorry I don't have a picture.

Here's the rock krawler 5.5 inch long arm. They also extended the wheel base 6 inches or so, can't remember. Either way this would be a dream, in my opinion.

the goal isnt to fill the wheel wells, the goal is to keep a low center of gravity. The higher you go the more tippy it will be.

For sure. Thats my goal in the long run. Once the JK's no longer used in the winter. It should be soon
