Looks like someone added a renny light bar to it.

Those rims though, blehhhh. Not appealing to me at all.

Welcome to the forum.
Do you know what lift is on it? What size tires? List your specs for us! :mrgreen:

i think its a 4" OME lift. not sure on the height though. Tires are 33" Mastercraft Courser c/t light truck tires. the first pic looks big because the idiot who had itbefore me had 2" coil spacers on it with the aftermarket shocks so the springs were already compressed. We took those out and now she runs like a champ.

And my brother and I should be heading up to Rocks & Valleys in Harrison, MI. pretty soon. I'll let you know when. Probably next weekend

Right, lol. And the banging noise was from the springs being compressed by the coil spacers

So this is the one I got to hear about on Saturday
I thought that it had 265-75s on it? Not 33's?
With just OME springs you have 2.5 to maybe 3 inches of lift if nothing else was added, which didn't look like there was.
Measure from the middle of the wheel to bottom of the flare, that will tell us more.
So the dealer took the aluminum spacer out for you? That was good if so

This is the famous jeep. The jeep has OME 927 front springs and old man emu shocks all the way around. It has 265 tires and I like the wheels alot on the jeep, makes it look much bigger than it is. The dealer did un-install the 2" aluminum spacer but with some finess (torch) lol, whatever it was detroit, they've never seen a lifted jeep and I wasnt going to argue with them for free labor. Looks to be a 3" lift and clears the tires perfectly, as the previous owner pinch welded the inner fender. Awesome KJ awesome buy, congrats little brother. Planning a trip to R&V pretty soon, love to see a few KJs out with us, my TJ will be their to pull/winch everyone up the rocks I just stomped. If I had the choice and the knowledge I have now about jeeps, a KJ would be in my driveway. BTW if anyone is ever in the U.P. I am the VP of NMU trailcats and always am wheeling.

The next step is rock rails for the KJ, if anyone has suggestions that would be nice.

Great looking KJ. 8)

I have to admit the wheels are a bit out there for me but they will probably grow on me after a while. Anyway, welcome and have fun! :JEEPIN:

I'm 50/50 on the wheels and tires. Overall, I think it is a good look, but I'm not sure it is completely pulled off. I think it would look better with them all black. I bet it looks better in person.

Still nice though. I wish I had any lift and any wheels and tires that aren't stock.
