Yeah I noticed that too. I would guess that Jeephrog used a wide angle lense to take the picture. I bet that Jeeprohog's rig looks better in person, than it does in that pic.

mine is a coil lift, Rusty's. If you notice mine is more level. The rusty kit is 2.5" in the front and 2" in the rear. Could be the tires too. I have BFG MT's

The other thing that coulbe throwing off the view is that I have the White letters on the sidewall. I noticed too that the tires look smaller in the photo than they do in person. Weird.

I guess it's the combination of your white-walls and the fact that eejk's is 2" in the back. Strange how those things change the look so drastically.

I was mostly kidding, My Jeep came stock with 32's.

I dont have enough cash to lift it right now. (Besides it is to damn cold to go crawling around on my back in 2ft of snow to do it right now!) So it is all stock at the moment chassis/tire wise. 11-1200 for tires, and add either spacers or new rims, and then a lift kit... $$$$$$
That is just not in my budget right now.

but if you really want to see it, they are in this thread: Here.

Hey Happy - I know what you mean with the budget. I was able to justify getting new wheels and tires by selling my originals for half the cost of my new ones. I wouldn't be able to do that later on down the road. Don't know if that helps you out, but thats my story.

Anyway, I still like the stock look, too - especially the Rubicons with the MT tires. If I was able to get a Rubi at the time I probably wouldn't do any lift or tire/wheel changes.

These are 17x9 rims on 285/50/17. No lift no rubbing.

I was thinking about matching this set up.
