Results
We are quite pleased with the result and it is exactly where we wanted it.
Measurements: These are taken from the edge of the rock rail at the fender.
33″ Tires No Lift: Front 18.5”, Rear 19.75”
35″ Tires No Lift: Front 19.25”, Rear 20.75”
35″ Tires with Spacer Lift: Front 20.25″, Rear 21.75″
Kind of exactly what you would expect from a spacer lift…1″ is 1″. The effect of the tires and lift result in approximately 2″ of ground clearance. The Jeep still drives great and looks great.
