Default Lift question??

I got my jeep at the beginning of this year and it came the way it looks in the photos. What I was wondering is if anybody can look at this picture and tell me how much lift or any is on my jeep. The tires are 35's if anybody has any idea it will be appreciated. Click image for larger version

I know that jeep and I've been wheeling with it. If I remember right it's 3.5" of lift, Rubicon express or something along those lines. Your axles are re-geared and there are lockers in there, though they're not wired up, or weren't when I was around it. Your axle already has c gussets on it.

I'm relatively close in Chesapeake welcome neighbor!

It was in Hampton/ Newport News area, right? If so then it's the jeep I used to know. There's been a couple changes since the owner I knew had it.

Does it still have the or-fab rear tire carrier? She used to have off-road bumpers front and rear with a winch and all.

I'd bet it's the one I think it is. So 3.5" and 35's. It was a very capable vehicle and the owner was able to take it through some pretty extreme obstacles workout issue.

You can do the smittybilt corners with 35/37's on 20's and it'll look awfully close to that picture.

i actually ordered those exact wheels with 35's a week ago so I am patiently waiting for them to come in. I just gotta find a stubby bumper and i want to get it wrapped or dipped a balloon pearl white.
