Talking No-Lift 39.5"s 37" 35" post your Pic's in here!

I'm interested in how crazy ppl have gotten with no-lift/tire size. My brother owns a body shop so i can get some decent work done body-wise and gain tire size without going too crazy on lift.

My goals/considerations are:

1.) taller tires reduce chances of being high-centered or "runnin aground"
through brush where I cant always tell if theres a pumpkin sized rock
heading for my 3rd member

2.) too much lift will limit access to some of my immeadiate family. My
chevy quad-cab w/ no lift is on the edge of too tall for my dad but it
has some beef tires lol. plus, when im an old fart i wanna still be able
to get in my own truck. Yes, I plan on still having this vehicle lol.

3.) I don't really need much Up-travel in my suspension anyway. Most of
my driving is street, except the 2 days a week im checking traps or
when we go camping(in my family thats basically every chance we get
till winter)

4.) It's what I want/like. Plus I might get some good tips or ideas or
even some good warnings about how far to go b4 i do bad things

Ok I'm Lookin Forward to the discussion and the pics

Um no pics yet sorry but Im running 35's with just an extra leaf added in front and rear. That being said I would NOT go off road because off road and under articulation I would scrub the fenders for sure but on the street its fine. The fenders have been cut back a decent amount.

On my K5 blazer I ran just 5" of lift and 42" swampers, but the blazers are more fender cutting friendly. The rear arch where the rear door is on an FSJ are what kills alot of potential for fender trimming.

Some say Crom does not exist...... Then again some say mine does not exist and technically I guess it is less and less everyday now...

Back on track here.. What kind of Jeep are you wanting to fix for your self..
I myself will be going the Crom route . I like them with no lift at all but want to be able to run 37's or 35's. Most likely will be running 35's and no lift at all and M715 style fenders.
