Opinion about tire size vs. Lift kit size
i am getting a 3-4 inch lift kit for my 06 wrangler. I have 31" dunlop mud rovers on it now. i dont really want to put on new tires, since i love the ones i have (very stable and quiet on the road). So do you think a 4" will look bad/too high for those tires?

and how much will heavy bumpers, winches, and what not lower the actual lift amount i get? (because my jeep right now is lower than stock because of all the stuff i put on it lol)

post pics if you have done what i want to do (even if you have 32s)

and do i need a SYE for my jeep?

thanks

4" looks just plain wrong with 31's.Go with a Rough Country 2.5" lift at most.My brother has heavy Body Armor bumpers and winch up front and only sagged 1/2".

3" looks just right with 31's IMO, it looks like you drive it off road instead of in the mall parking lot.

Just to be sure, the pic is of 4" w/ 31's, or the 2 1/2"?

okay, well on the looks side of this argument, the silver rubi looks badass with the increased tire clearance, so i might just do a 3" lift. And i want to add the 4" because i need higher ground clearance!!!!!!
