Default 3.5" lift, 33's

I have a 3.5 inch lift on the way. Still got 20,000 km left on the 33 inch KM2's. I also have flat fenders.
So I guess what I'm asking is do anyone have and pictures of this set up? I wanna see how I'm gonna look in the transition period. When these wear out... 37's are going on.

Well, these are not exactly what you are looking for, but it will give you an idea of how goofy yours will look. This is a 3.5" RK lift (gained a fuzz over 4.5") with stock 32 mud terrains. You have a slightly bigger tire, but with flats you will have even more room in the wheelwell area most likely...

I would just park the lift in the corner until you get the 37's

You could also consider selling your 33's while they still have life left in them for a down payment on new tires.

Bahaha, Damn, that looks bad. That's some serious roller skate going on there.

Never thought of that.

And one way to know exactly what your rig would look like with your current tires and the lift installed... simply jack the frame and body up with two floor jacks roughly 3.5-4" (if you have no lift currently) and then stand back and admire.

I have never wore a set of tires out in my life. I always sell them while they are still worth something and that gives me a jump start on the new set. I like going this way, because I always have nearly a new set of tires (or at least over half tread).
