Here are the pics. This is the only way I know how to add them. There are 3 photos. Stock, new tyres and after lift. The last one was taken when I picked up the car, so I will add a better picture later

Very nice! Had a look and they only do 3.5"? I was looking for maximum 2.5". What size tyres you have on there?

Tyres are BFG KM2s 245/70/17s or 30.5" same as 245/75/16 if you running 16" wheels.
Minor rubbing on front when steering is full lock. Doesn't sound good when reversing as the inner liner catches the tyre in the lugs. Kind of like a bit of cardboard in the spokes of a bicycle. Minor trimming or greater back spaced wheels will fix this.

I'm not sure about the 3.5" lift.
As far as I'm aware Dobinson only do a quoted 40-50mm lift or 2". You can see that it has come up more than this but this in a lowered 05 model and some of it would be sag. I don't think I would want any higher though.
Petrol or Diesel have different part numbers and they have an option for constant rear load too.

Just a better pic showing the lift.
Also the culprit for the rubbing tyre at full lock. It seems to just catch the lugs on the muddies when in reverse as it goes up the plastic. Going forward doesn't make any noise or cause any dramas. Probably wouldn't happen with ATs but a quick little trim tomorrow and it will be sweet.

It's amazing what a huge difference a set of tyres can make to a car. They're a good looking tyre. That rub isn't very good looking though.

Only have to trim an inch off the ends. Could probably remove that whole strip without any issues

Does anyone here have experience with Koni shocks and King coils? I'm considering a lift kit for my KJ containing these items. It costs $1350 although for that price, probably just as well go for the ARB kit. Any thoughts?
