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.

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!!!!!!
