Looking for pics of 2" Mopar lift with 33's

[Trauma PA]

I'm currently running BFG TA KO2s in 285/70/17. As much as I want to buy some new 35's, I'm hesitant to do so for several reasons:
-just bought new 33's for my JKU that I just traded for my JLU (was able to keep them and had JL stock tires placed on my traded JKU). Don't need an extra expense.
-been down that 35 road before with a previous JKU and dealt with the shortcomings of 35's (harsher ride, decreased fuel economy, etc) and don't want to be in that same boat again so to speak.

So show me your rigs with 33's on the Mopar 2" lift. I've seen plenty of pics of 35's & 37's on the Mopar lift but so far only 1 with 33's. Trying hard to be financially responsible and smart about this decision.
Thanks in advance.

It will look approximately like this Jeep that I saw the other day:

Snarky comment aside, I would go with a smaller lift than the Mopar lift if you're dead set on lifting and running 33s. The Mopar 2" lift will get you much more than the advertised 2" and will look silly with 33s IMO. Good for you for trying to do the financially responsible thing though.

EDIT: Found a couple pics. From the side it doesn't look as silly as I expected.

Def need 35's with that lift.

I'm in exactly the same boat. Having Rubicon wheels and tires installed on my sport Tuesday. Based on those photos above to much lift Imo. Following thread

yep, and 35 at the minimum. I would upgrade to 37s if it wasn't for the speedo fix / price / tailgate reenforcement cost. FWIW, my lifted on 35s rubicon gets 20mpg.

You could always get a set of JL Rubicon springs off this forum, eBay or craigslist. I think I read that it's good for 1-1.5 inches of lift on the sport. This is what I plan to do when my Jeep arrives.

Had the Mopar lift on my JK 2 door and actually got 3.5” measured lift, ran 33’s. I wanted to go 35’s but wife liked the look.... you always go with the wife It really doesn’t look bad though, just a matter of opinions.

I think the high top fender flares on the Rubicon make the 33's look disproportionate to the amount of lift. Trying to visualize how the 33's will look on a Jeep without the high top fender flares. Hoping a little better than what it looks like on the Rubicons.

I would agree with this^^^^ See this profile of my stock Rubi and hightop fenders in front.

My ride with 285/70/17 on MIckey Thompson Classic III's after Mopar 2" lift install.

A few hundred miles later with bumper installed

I appreciate those pics of your JL Sahara lifted. Really helps me with my decision.

I don't think it would look too good with stock offset rims though, The MT III's are offset -12, so that helps widen the stance and complete the look I was going for, subtle and simple.

JK47, how has your fuel economy been post lift?

I love the look. I get a lot of compliments. I do off road a far amount and never hit axel. Most I scrape is dead center go Over a steep ridge.
