Same here.
I'm sitting on 6" with 35's and I'd think going lower would give a better overall feel for the Jeep. Seems like the rear would be short on travel.

on that note, i went from rustys standard coils to RE HD and it made my jeep perform about 3248123 times better in just about every situation on road and off. 150lb/in < 180lb/in < 241lb/in
im also running 255/70 valved 5150s and am upgrading to 7100s pretty soon.
oh and back on topic, i run 33s on just about 3.5" and wouldnt have it any other way.

Im running a 2" budgetboost with 33x12.50's and have no issues. Yeah I trimmed a lot and hammered out the inner fender well, but it works out just fine

that bump stop is a hell of a lot longer than 2.5". and so are the stock ones on my heep. so you take 2.5's off and put 2.5's on. no that figure is over stock length.yessir
prothanes in front and these in back (since the pic i have taken out a couple leaves and extended the bumpstops by 2.5" (this is not ride height)
I love them, made my jeep a totally different machine offroad (especially at anything above 15 mph)

wtf is going on in this thread lol:eyes:
5.5-6" on 35s would like to be at about 5 and 35s rustys flares still clear em with a bit of trimming that is. But mine aren't the supper fancy flexable ones so they don't bend if my tire hits. it's still pretty stable on road as a DD i test that every day lol. Woul like to get a HD sway bar though.

Where my XJ is currently sitting: trimmed fenders all around, 33x10.50 BFG MT's around 40%, stock front coils, sagged (negative arch) rear leafs, MJ shackles and extended rear bumpstops.
Now I have 15x8 Soft 8's on it with 4" BS and they rub on the inner fenderwell a little when I turn.
I've got an RE 3.5" lift that I'm gonna be slapping on here fairly soon. After that, the plans are to move up to a 34x10.50 LTB, then I'll be happy. :wave1:

Doesn't the width of the tires & wheels affect your center of gravity?
Everyone is showing big tires on small lifts but wouldn't running really wide, big tires on a big lift be the same thing, but on a taller scale?

Not technically. The COG is a mathmatical function of where the mass of your rig is positioned. The higher it sits, the higher the COG.
Full width axles, deep offest (low backspace) wheels, and really wide tires will help get some of your stability back, but don't change the actual COG.
For what it's worth, I run 35s on about 5", and wouldn't change a thing...
