Default need help with lift info and steps

Was wondering if anyone has a 6-7 inch lift. I had a 4" skyjacker in my other Jeep and am thinking of doing the 6-7 in my new Jeep. I did the 4" lift with my friend and it was easy but I won't be able to do the 6" myself. Just wondering if it will be worth it (clearance, stability, looks, etc.) does anyone have a pic with a 6"? I have 35x12.50 now on a 17" wheel thinking of putting 37" tires?

Also does anyone know where to get the steps that are just like hoops not the full bar?

WHACHA THINK?!?!?! I WOULD LIKE TO DO THIS ONE UP AND NOT HAVE REGRETS!!!!

Carrie

JK's don't need nearly as much lift as older versions. Also, I believe there are a few 37" threads running now (or in the last few days). A quick search will give you a better grasp of which way you want to go.

I have been searching and asking but no one seems to have a 6 in lift in one of these. I go off road quite a bit but i also have 2 kids and 6 big dogs. So I am a little nervous about it but am thinking that is what i really want and need. Just was hoping someone would have some ideas or pics.

I think only one or two companies even make 6" long arm kits now, but you don't need those (unless you just have a ton of money laying around) haha.

4" will run 37"s

2.5 and you can run 35"s

stock no lift at all you can run 33"s

Good luck finding what you want, and let us know what you decide on!

I have a 6" Full Traction Long Arm Kit. It rides great on road, better than factory. Off road it is just awesome.

Here is a pic and link to of the set up before the coil-over and evo lever system.

It is funny you say that MANY People say that it is not a real jeep because it has 4 doors ...many won't wave or shake their heads no at me. But they don't know I HAVE A ZOO!

Thank you all for your help!
