Forum: Lifting your LJ

When i bought my 06 LJ Rubicon, it already had a 3" lift and 17" x 8" Bling Polished Aluminum Wheels with 285-75-17 BFG Muds on it. The Combo is fine except i hate the Wheels. Looking to get some proper Black 17's to swap the tires onto. Just curious what aftermarket wheels people like and have...

What's the proper backspacing when purchasing new wheels for an LJ ? Looking at purchasing new 15' or 16' wheels with 33/10.5 tires Would like have the tires even with the stock fenders or out 1"

Morning, My LJ came with the 15 inch wheels. Been looking to get new rims and tires as these are worn and in rough shape. Found a set of 16x8 Moabs from a 04 TJ ( I think). Previous owner already put on a 3" lift. How big of a tire can I run with stock gearing, etc without causing any issues,...

I am a new owner of an 05 LJ RUBI. It is currently bone stock. Looking to install a 32" tire and a 2 to 3" lift. Any recommendations? I prefer that the tire still fills up half of the wheel well area. I like the following look. Any suggestions on what size lift it is? Thanks guys!

So I have finally acquired an LJ... I'm much more familiar with leaf-sprung jeeps so I'm trying to wade through all the opinions and "true facts" out there in the forums. This jeep has 285/75/16's on it and they don't seem to particularly rub on any of my usual roads/trails. I read that a 33" tire...

can anyone recomend a longarm kit? Was gonna go with Rough Country, but would like a few more options. I'm sure there are probably a few I hadn't even thought of.

My lift kit says to remove the front trans.skid for driveshaft clearance. Is this necessary on the LJ? Hate to leave the trans.pan exposed. I don't think mine looks like another one I saw onetime, are the Rubicons different? What are my options?
