I have received my RC 4" lift and now my adjustable control arms and am anxious to get this installed. I have been trying to picture the Jeep with the stock 32" tires and 17" wheels with the additional 4" of lift and just can't decide if it's gonna look bad or not.
Anyone have opinions (shouldnt be hard to get) or pics (maybe harder) of what this is gonna look like?
If it's gonna look to bad, I'll have to wait awhile longer to buy new tires.
More overtime!

What mattewrs is do you like it.
I just put on a set of 28" tires with a 3" T.F lift and it looks stupid as hell.
But I get more response around town and better milage and less where and tear etc.
I just switch to my hiking boots for when I go offroad.

Guess that's the price you pay to play

Our goals of building trucks is function over form.
First, the mods are assest for practicality. Does it improve performace sufficiently to warrant the change. If the answer is yes then we go to the next step.
Next, does the mod have adverse effects on any other sustems? Ex. driveline angles, etc. If no then next step.
PRICE!...yes, everyone has a budget...
And lastly, if it looks good, then it's a bonus.
So to answer your question; YES! I would.
......and there's always a positive note to everything....you will not rub anywhere, and your gas mileage will be super.

My 2dr rubi sits approx 4 1'2 over stock and is still on stock 17/32 rubi tires+wheels,I look at before and after photo's and personally I like the look now and thought it looked kinda homely at stock height.who cares what others think, a lot of people are lifting thier vehicles as cheaply as possible just to put big tires on(like some kinda bling bling contest).I would rather "not look cool"and have my suspension dialed in,all drivabilty issues dealt with then upgrade tires and wheels.your JK might not have tires+wheels yet but will drive down the road straighter and perform a lot better off road than the guys that went dirt cheap with lift so they could put"fancy"tires and wheels on(the term mall crawler comes to mind)
