Hey jeepers.

I bought my sport used and I was deciding on a lift kit. But now that I look at my jeep, it looks higher than most sports on the road. I did replace my stock wheels with rubi wheels with ko2 but the height between the top of the tire and fenders look higher than usual. What is the standard height of a stock sport with rubies takeoffs. Too lazy to go under the jeep.or peel back the fender liners. Thanks in advance... see my profile pic with the ko2s

Didn't see any more pics on your profile page, but looking at the small picture on your page it looks like it is not lifted to me.

Do you have the 33 Ko2?

Doesn’t look lifted. Someone used to JKs rather than a JL would probably think it’s lifted.

If you’re able, stop at dealership and measure distance above tire and see how close it is to yours. Also measure the height of the tire to compare to yours. Not an exact science but will give you an idea. You can also look to see if there are any spacers above the front coil isolators if haven’t already.......:)

No...but it needs at least a leveling kit/small spacer lift imho.

I put running boards on my Rubicon for the winter. The bottom of the step is 16 1/4" from the ground. The tires are 35 PSI cold. (I can't measure the fender height for you as Rubi fenders are mounted higher.)

This is my wifes Jeep Willys and it has the takeoff springs from my Rubicon on it, raises front 1 inch and rear 1.5 inches. It also has Rubicon takeoff 285 ko2's. Compared to yours it appears to me that yours is not lifted.

Doesn't look lifted to me. But if you're gonna lift it, put a reputable kit in it and get a good name brand aftermarket adjustable trackbar to prevent death wobble.

Is it 1-1 1/2" with rubi springs alone or is that total height with the tires?
