Hey all- I'm just about ready to lift the KJ, and I'm pretty set on Rusty's spacer lift. I dont do any serious wheeling, so it'll be fine for my purposes. Does anyone have any pics of their KJ w/ a 2.5" lift and the 235/70's? I just want to make sure it wont look horrible for however long it takes me to get bigger tires.

I think the sad face was for the word spacer (instead of coil).

I have a frankenlift and 235/70R16s. I think it looks fine, but you be the judge:

I think it helps that I have the rock rails, they make it seem like it hangs down further, so it doesn't look quite as strange when it's lifted up. You can certainly see a LOT more space in the wheel wells.

I dont go offroading much either but i ordered the rusty's coil lift anyways because of all the problems i read about OTT spacer lifts. The coil lift isnt expensive compared to other lifts for other 4x4s.

Yeah the spacer part make NOLA sad. I say do whatcya gotta do but I haven't heard alot of good on that particular lift. Best of luck tho if you already bought/installed it. Be sure to get some pics. My Rusty's coil lift is going on TOMORROW!!!!!

Once you factor in new shocks the coil lift makes more sense, especially if your stock shocks/struts are on their last leg.
