Alright, so my lift is going to take a little longer than I was hoping to get here, so my tires/wheels are going to be ready a lot sooner than the lift. Would I be stupid to install the wheels and tires without a lift? I would only be driving to and from work like this for a few days. If I am careful of turning and don't flex it out too much can I drive around like that? or will I destroy my tires and bumper? Thanks.

 

u should be fine,
watch out for the pot hole on the highway or you might get a free fender mod

 

Other folks have done it for semi-extended periods. You'll be fine, just watch the speedbumps and sharp turns.

If it'll be a while til the lift goes on, you might find a big rock or ramp and test a bit. Nice to get an idea where and how much you'll rub before getting surprised at road speeds.

 

i know someone that did it for like 6 months before his lift came hahah youll be fine

i would wait until you get the lift then slap them on

 

I know someone has a pic of a jk on 35's with no lift!

Not ideal, but possible. My lift was done and now I'm waiting on my tires so I'm pretty much in the exact opposite place you are right now.

 

Just be careful and stay on the pavement until you get the lift.

 

Well, now that I have thought about it a little more, I will probably just wait, which also means only putting the tires on once... I'm too damn impatient

I just detailed my jeep something fierce though, so i'm in a state of zen.

 

Yeah they didn't lift the Jeep. They raised the fenders.

That thing is soooo badass
