Hello, Just joined minutes ago.
Here's may situation, recently bought a 2005 Rubicon with 82K. Had it checked over and is mechanically pretty sound, I retired from the collision industry so I checked it over for rust and it's not perfect but close. the frame has true "surface" rust and the typical fender top issues. It has not been lifted.
What I'm looking to do is keep tall tires but narrower than the LT285/75R16 that are on it now. Maybe even go down to a 15 inch steel wheel to get a 9.0 or 10 inch tire? Has anyone done this? Also along those lines any suggestions for a complete suspension "lift" kit that is only one or two inches?
All this may sound strange but we're just old enough that it's getting difficult to get in and out of our F350 and we don't want to have that with the Jeep. Thank to all & sorry so long winded, Ted
