Here is pics of my '03 Renegade that just got Frankenlifted. I am at 23 3/4" from center of hub to top of fender after the lift. I forgot to check before the lift. I am having some "squeaks" from the springs in the front. Nothing is rubbing so i hope as the springs break in the noises go away.

They are 245/75/16 Rubicon take-offs. I already had my pinchwelds pounded and have no rubbing there except for one time under full stuff i just had a slight kiss. The front of the wheel wells has some rubbing but only at full lock. When fully compressed there is no rubbing. My preference would be nothing larger than this. I could see some rubbing issues with anything larger (unless you spend all of your time on the road).


Thanks for all of the compliments. I am definitely happy. Just FYI, I have the 5-speed manual tranny and can tell very little difference in acceleration and power with the new tires (MPG's dropped from 19.5 to 17.5). A re-gear at this point would be way overkill. I can't speak for the auto tranny or associated gearing.

what did you use to fill the holes from the spare tire carrier? I kinda like the lopok from the pics have been seeing. Haven't seen one in person yet. Whats the purpose for it?

I did it mainly so that i could access the hitch easier. With the spare there, it was very difficult to access the hitch. I also took it off because I didn't want to put the extra weight of the bigger tire and the MOAB on my back carrier. Plus, I plan to upgrade my bumpers when I can find a rear bumper with tire carrier for a more reasonable price (RL bumper and tire carrier is 1500 buck :shock: ).

I went to Auto Zone and purchased interior plastic clips intended for GM vehicles. Just look for the biggest ones they have. They are a tight fit but work very well. I stole the idea from tjkj2002.
