I took out the 2" bodylift and drivetrain lift. It took about 5 hours (a couple of evenings) working by myself, including cleanup.

The tires actually cleared when turned on flat ground, but would have rubbed when the turned and compressed. Some minor work with a mini-sledge and now there is PLENTY of clearance. I didn't expect the 35's to fit so well with only 4" of lift, but they definitely do. 8" wheels vs. 10" helps too though.

I like the new lower stance. I always thought it was too tall before, but the wife liked it. The lower lift makes the tires look bigger and like they "fit" better. It drives a little nicer than before as well. Lots of pluses, IMHO. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

33's, 2" lift (this is my second favorite stage)


35's, 6" lift


35's, 4" lift (favorite so far)

This is a great reference thread! Thanks for the comparison shots. You detail most of the lift combinations possible for the T100 all in one post. Very nice.

Good comparison indeed, I think it will help me finalize my choice in lifts.

For the 2" lift-is it just a body lift?

Great thread!

Yes.

Hmmmm, even with a 4" lift and the 2" body lift and the liberal application of a sledgehammer, my tires still rub when the stuff while turning. Not a lot mind toy, but it does still happen occasionally. It seems to mostly be the plastic fender liner, which I am continually cutting more off of. Luckily it does not seem like any serious damage to the tires. I originally had spacers behind my wheels since they had a wierd offset, but now I have different wheels on the front then the back (same size, just different backspacing) due to some carnage on the Rubicon. What I really need is a SAS and 6" lift springs!

Will 31" tires fit with a 3" body lift on a 2WD T100?
