Default 33"s & a small lift; anyone have pics

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone is running 33"s (stock Rubi 17" alloys) with a small (like 2-2.5") coil or even spacer lift & has pics (side-on view would be great). I'm sure there are heaps already posted here but I didn't have much luck navigating the search function.

Need a little extra tire diameter & lift on my stock Sport to do some of the trails I want to but don't want to go down the track of a taller lift & 35s at this stage (3.21s & D30 front, so a regear would be compulsory for 34s/35s and where I am anything over a 2.5" lift over stock needs to be engineered=$$$). My buddy has a JK Sport on 33s without a lift which I have driven so yeah, I'm aware what it's like to drive on 33s with 3.21s.

Awesome, thanks guys! Looks like just the amount of extra ground clearance I need (and good to know it leaves room for 35's later down the track).

Cheers!

Great looking rig with those tires. Did you notice a big power loss? Also, do you have any front/back pics. Thanks

No huge power loss - especially not with the addition of a Superchip Flashpaq. And here's a few more pics.

Great looking pics! I think that makes up my mind what to do with tires for my leveling kit height!
