NUUB WITH LIFT QUESTIONS (2022 GLADIATOR)

[Heavy D]

Hell yea, run them! ?

Swampers do look great. I've always been a fan of Boggers.

Lets don't get carried away here... Boggers are a little hardcore for this wanna-bee.
Was thinking IROK... I like the way they look.

This is why I'm looking for info on lifts..
Has been some good info offered here but I don't think folks are grasping just how much offset I'm dealing with.
With a 35x14.5 tire, I'm gonna have almost as much tire outside the fender well as there will be inside it.

As yall can see from pic.. My wheels (Fuel FC125 "Rincon" in 20x10) have a huge offset (-48) so when I do a search for suspension upgrades, most of the info doesn't apply to my application.

I want to run 35" tires in either 13.5" or 14.5" width (most likely Swampers).
I DO NOT want to cut or shave any trim or fenders.
I also want to get away with the minimum lift possible due to be a pretty banged up 57 year old guy that is already depending on retractable steps to get in and out.

Not doing any rock crawling so I don't need 18 inches of travel but also wanna be able to pull down in the ditch and turn around without snatching a fender off.

What is that leash coming out of your hitch? That jeep that wild?? LOL!
Hey 57 yr old, this 74 yr old had wide wheels/tires and I was running into shit that I wasnt even near! They reach out and grab stuff! I bought some nice new wheels (half price)thru Tire Rack and brought my tires way in but still out an appropriate amount. And yes, I too have the electric steps as soon as I decided it was going to be my daily.

An extension cord I use to run a heat light... Whenever it gets down below the mid 40s here, I run that light to help keep my rolling equipment and toys warm.
Since I don't do well at grabbing that cord (or anything else) off the floor, I just hang it where its easiest for me to grab.

Get different wheels. Put different tires on them. No point in lifting it and doing all that kind of stuff if you’re not going to off-road it.

Probably more people lift for looks than function. Nothing wrong with that.

Bought these wheels specifically for the offset.
I like the roller skate aesthetic.

This!
I wanna look like I'm ready for the rocks but I'll actually be headed to Duncan Donuts for coffee and an eclairs.
