How silly would a Rubicon on 33s look with a 3.5” lift for a few months?

Silly Meter... time dependent. A few or more months, you are good. And in case you don't finish your dream...

who cares what anyone things besides you? and you know why it looks that way.

personally i don't think it would look that bad,... but you shouldn't care what i think either. ;)
just get on with it.


I have a 2022 Rubicon and recently bought a 3.5” rock krawler lift. I plan on installing the lift in the next month or so.

I’m currently on stock 33s and don’t really want to (aka shouldn’t) spend $2k on 37s right now.

Here’s a 2.5” lift with 31’s and rubicon flares. Should be pretty similar look. Kinda goofy, but not bad enough to spring on extra money immediately

I'll also echo the "who cares?" statements of others. 100% does not matter as long as the Jeep functions. You're still looking better than those Angry Grille people

That said: Mid 2021 I had my 37's sitting in my garage for 2-3 months while I waited for RK to build my lift. No complaints, it was just the way things were at that point. I'm local, I've known them for a while and They've always done right by me- it was just their workload at the time.

It'll be fine
Pinkee looked silly with the factory 31.5" tires on and the lift before going 37 but by the next day it looked cool like that, out of place and a little bit weird ..... but still cool
Really shoulda taken a few pics before the second upgrade
It'll be cool, kinda weird... but cool

I honestly think you'll be ok. I have seen Ram pickup trucks with 22" wheels and rubber bands for tires lifted way too much that still looked quite good!
This is a lie sir.... No truck/suv looks good with 22's and rubberbands (IMO).... ;)
To the OP. I ran a 4" lift on my Ram with 33's for some time and it still looked pretty good. Obviously the wheel wells were a little empty but still looked decent.

Folks are weighing in a lot on the "What other people think? Who the Hell Cares?" But admit it, we all want our Jeeps to look good *to us.*

IMHO, lifted on factory size looks a bit gangly and awkward. It's the "teenager growth spurt" look. You know, when you've grown two inches over the summer, but haven't bought new pants to fit yet.

Will that bother you during those few months? Well as to that, only you can say.

Long as you don’t add an angry grille, the forum will forgive you for your transgression but the angry grille is a forbidden sin.

I’d guess works in progress are wise and normal. I now have 35s on my JLRU with no lift but will get it soon. It looks fine as is but I don’t care what others think.
