Can you guess how much lift this TJ has?

If strip clubs everywhere else are call Zanzibar, then what's the one on your island called?

33s will probably work. I can't imagine buying parts... I know Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands it's expensive and little choices and lots of waiting.

US Virgin, Hawaii etc. Expencive or not you can find spare parts anyway, here there are maybe three Wranglers on the island (mine gonna be 4th )) so, no spare at all if you don't have japan cars.. imagine, I am in Africa but not connected to continent but an island in Indian ocean, end NorthWest in a small African Village ))) I mentioned before... this is gonna be an adventure for sure... 33" will work I bet.. cheers mate..thanks

I had a 'murican Oldsmobile on a small Japanese island. It was one of 2 Oldsmobiles on island, so I can relate to your struggle. This forum will be a good resource for you. Let us know if you need something you can't get shipped to you out there otherwise!

Wow amazing! And yes a perfect example. Exactly... My car is lifted quite enough, most probably 4" , it looks same gap between tires and fenders like this. Are they 33" or 35" ? They look awesome! Thanks

35" tires on that Jeep.

Truly the finest group of guessers around!

33" it is then... you made my day brother, appreciated a lot.. Hope soon I will share New pictures

Remember 33" tires more than just lift. Gears need to be considered. Speedo correction. Backspacing of the wheels. There is more than that even and i am sure folks will join in.

Hello Jeep community, can anyone tell how many inches this TJ lifted? Can you guess by picture? Cos I am looking for right size if tires and rims. My plan 33" with 15" rims , currently it has 27.4 x 8.9 tire on 15" rims on the picture.

It looks like it already lifted, 33" is okay? You guys are professional, it's my first jeep ever. And it's on the way to arrive. I preparing for new shoes for this boy before arrival . Thanks in advance

Nobody can tell you how much lift but you and a tape measure. It’s best to wait till you get the Jeep, measure, and buy appropriate size tires and wheels with ~4” back space.

Apparently you have no taste talking like that!

You can precisely know how much suspension lift there is by measuring the height of the front and rear springs. For an unlifted TJ the front springs are 12" tall and the rear springs are 8" tall. So for example if your front springs are 15" tall and your rear springs are 11" tall you have a 3" suspension lift.

And a big welcome to WTF.

would be the hight of the springs while the jeep is sitting on the ground ?

Yes.

Yes.

The wheelbase looks a bit short.
