Default Show me your 2 door with 2.5" lift
Hey all I'm looking for options on a lift and tires. Looking to see your setups with a 2.5" lift with 33's.

Can't wait to see what ya got.

Not really needing a lift to run 33's. At 2.5", u can run 35"' and even 37's with some modifications such as trimming fenders and pinch seams.

The poster above is correct. However I chose my ome lift for 285s for a number of reasons:
1. Maintain clearance without chopping my fenders
2. Heavier duty suspension for added weight down the road
3. Looks good without sacrificing ride quality

Everybody has differing opinions. Build how you want and to your needs.

I completely agree. I'm just trying to find good pics of the setup. Thanks.

There is a subforum called "JK Show & Tell". It is full of threads with pics, pics, and more pics, of just about anything you want to see.

Over 400 pages of pics of 33's in this one alone...
