Sorry for you not understanding. But when something like a Pinch Weld is hatched off it could loose support. That's why it's welded and not just seamed sealed.

I am looking into a lift. I don't want to go too high just a mild lift. Some of the state areas I hunt and fish have tire size limit so I can't go any larger than 33" any help on picking a good lift would be cool.

Mine so far need to install leveling kit. Thinking about going 2 pucks in front and 1 in rear the full kit. Then going to trim fenders and install 33-35's down the road.

Before swap with stock steelies

Here is mine. I have a 1" body lift with bush whacker flat fenders running MT 35s. The pinch seam and rubicon rails have been trimmed. Haven't had any issues with rubbing, articulation has been good.

The new JKs have the pinch seam trimmed and the few I've seen aren't even sealed up.
