I wish companies who make the lift would show the vehicle with stock tires and wheels because every time I look I see a 4.5 inch lift with 35's or 37's so its hard to even tell its there.

Evo seems to be the only company I have seen do this.

Well, in all fairness, a Jeep that's lifted properly should look proportionate to the new tires that they're on. If you can't tell, they did it right or, close to it. :yup:

Ture, but I always want to see how much different it really looks compared to stock :bleh:

Well, "look" is one thing but, the diagram below will give you some factory ride height measurements. If you measure what you have, anything taller than these dimensions will be the amount of lift you have. Of course, you can do this to any Jeep to find out what they are sitting at. :yup:

This looks familiar, is this the same diagram from the dynatrac docs?

Here you go. This first one is attached just behind the pinch seam where the last factory Rubicon rail bolt goes...

For the rear light, I used the parking brake retaining clip stud on the bottom of the tub to secure it...

we like to keep our rigs sitting as low as they can go and so, we have moby sitting at about 4.5" above stock. most JK's sitting on 37's sit taller than moby on its 40's.

OK... you've got Moby back. How about some pictures of how much you trimmed the wheel wells and the pinch seams. On a more important note, how much honey was consumed when you were doing the trimming? :honey::honey::honey:

Ok, so here's my trim. Two of the pictures are the left rear tire, forward and rear and one picture of the left front tire. 37's with 12+ inches if wheel travel. Going to 40's in Jan. More trimming will be in order.

Eddie,

Do you have a wire and light for your license plate on Moby and RubiCAT? Also are you using the rigid lights as your reverse lights?
