Default Would this look silly?

Guys do u think it would look silly to have the teraflex 4" lift on 33" tires... because i dnt want to get 35's on stock rims wen they wont really help on the dubai deserts.. 33's would prob be better for me... nevertheless, i like the 4" lift, would it make the jeep look bad and should i go with a 3" lift.. or will 4" and 35" tires go well together ?

what you need to know is that teraflex lifts tend to be in the high side and their 4" lift will ultimately yield you about 5.25" of lift. i've run my 37's without any rubbing with this lift so yeah, 33's might look silly. honestly, for your needs, i think the 3" kit is all you need especially when it will sit closer to 4".

They got a member on here running a 4'' Skyjacker with a 1'' body on 33's and it looks real good! But hear-say.....Skyjacker tends to settle a lot, so that might be way 33's look good on it.

trust me, i have seen the sj 4" lift and it is nowhere near as tall as a teraflex 4" lift.

Im running the teraflex 4"lift w/ a 1" bl on 37's it sits as high or higher than others 6" kits. So you may look a little tall for 33's w/ that setup. And if youre only running dunes you may want to keep the center of gravity as low as possible, like WOL said stick w/ 3" and youll have no worries.

kinda along those lines, a 2.5" TF coil and 35's would have a solid stance?? Should I add a 1" body lift for clearance?

I agree, I've got the 3" BlackDiamond (which probably netted me a little more than 3") with 33" tires and like the look, take a look :

Personally I wouldn't like how it would look. On the other hand, if that's the look YOU like and there aren't any side affects of this set up, then go for it. That's what personalization is all about

Yeah... I have the rubi MT's on my JK with a 4" superlift and I have been asked more than once when the tires are coming. It doesn't look terrible, but it would look better with 35's.

I have a 4in superlift and a 1 in bl along with rebb 1/3/4 spacers in the rear, with 35's everyone compliments me on the lift.
