Default Rock Krawler 1.75 Budget Long Travel, who has it? What tire size? Pics?

Who out there is running the Rock Krawler JK 1.75 Budget Based LT System? What tire size are running? Any pics of your rigs with this installed? Or maybe even before and afters?

I'm getting new rubber soon and am trying to see what 35s vs 33s vs 32.6 vs 32s look like with this spacer kit. I don't rock crawl and only plan on rutted farm and logging roads for hunting and fishing, plus 200 miles trips each way to our place at the beach, with some beach riding.

My advice, keep it simple. Throw on a basic leveling kit and some 33's.

I see so many people over do their rigs and then quickly sell them. Regardless of the "better than stock" talk you hear. Lifting. Big tires. Etc. come with some sacrifice.

I was admittedly on the fence about Rock Krawlers marketing. Hahaha. Seriously, 1.75", long travel puck lift?!?! That's so sweet. I had to google it just to see that's what they say. Legit.

It's a budget boost. With so little lift, not much to think about.

Sorry, not following you here Invest2m4. What's not much to think about? Tire size? 35s too much for 1.75"? So 33s are the way to go?

Sorry about that, I see I missed your tire clearance question. If you haven't added weight and you have proper back spacing on your wheels, you should be fine. You'll want to trim or remove your front air dam.
