- Well I run the SkyJacker 2 1/2" coil lift(pre-soft ride coils),I have added Rancho front struts(had to cut about 3/4" off the coil springs to work and then added Rusty's 3/4" poly spacers to make up the difference),OME N132 rear shocks and one extra upper spring isolator(soon to be 2 due to the RL rear bumber).I run soft 8 rims which are 16x7 with 4.5 BS,mounted on them are 265/75R16 MT/R's.I have no rubbing in the front,none,zero but I also have the ARB bumber(pounded the pinch welds down to).In the rear I had to remove the flares and "roll" the wheel well edges so the rear tire stuff correctly,the only place the rear tires rub is the front of the rear wheel wells due to the axle being moved forward due to the lift.I'll get the #'s but my lift is netting about 3.75" of total lift.Oh by the way the last pic my rear tire is nowhere close to being fully stuffed,it's got about 3 more inches to go.
****Update*****
Scraped the mushy OME rear shocks and added the Rancho 17004's,ride and rear flex is improved by 100%.I also did some trimming of the rear fender flares and re-installed them and switched to 265/75R16 Trxus MT's which stand 31.9" tall.No rub in the front still and just a slight kiss on the front of the front part of the rear fender flares.I have now about 50,000miles on my SkyJacker lift and still sitting at 3.75" of lift.
Did have a front CV break on the trail,was not flexed at all,tire got wedged and the CV let go.To say the lift most likely did not have anything to do with this CV failure but more to the more difficult trails that my KJ has been through with no breakage it was bound to happen.The CV was perfect before breaking with no noise or play,just the stress of being wedged like it was when torque was applied it decided to blow apart.
