2010 Wrangler Unlimited. Dealer states a 4in lift and different questions arise in my mind about DS and body geometry. Then the more I looked at the picture I didn't think it was a 4 inch lift. What do you guys think?

Dealer also states 33 in Mickey Thompson

4in or not?

Possibly 4" Rancho. After looking at that front shock, with the red shock boot on top of the white housing.

Not a bad lift. Love those side steps also. They're not good rock sliders, but they work amazing as steps and door protectors.

I doubt it has a new front DS, but if it hasn't been too abused, you'll be fine.

Normally Rancho lifts are good, but you should check to see if it has any adj control arms. If Yes, YAY, if no, get some AEV or RC Control Arm Brackets (i love my RC ones).

It's a nice looking Jeep! Looks like a 4" maybe less because the 33s make the lift look bigger than it actually is. X2 on the side steps they look sharp. 4" without a DS change is a time bomb but is doable for a short time. I would look into getting some smaller diameter ones.
