I'm in the process of replacing the front upper control arms on my KJ and had ordered flag bolts from the dealer. Turned out that only half of them had arrived. :(

There was a lifted WK2 that I thought looked good so I took a picture with my phone camera.

I don't know what the lift is. This would be interesting as a daily driver and road trip car, especially the diesel. For us it's a potential replacement for a mildly lifted 05 Subaru Outback. Thing is, that car gets awesome mileage and its long since paid for.

It would look a lot better if the huge gap caused by the lift were filled a little, like with some more agressive tires. The Jeep WK2 concept vehicles with lift and larger/agressive rubber are pretty nice looking.

only lift I know of is Rocky Road bump stops or the air suspension. 4-wheel independent suspension and no one makes gears to re-gear with. other Jeep is a WK2 2012

That might just be at max height on the optional air suspension
