couple inches measured from the ground to what?, bumper, rocker panel, fender?
Top of the roof. On the dealers lot I can stand next to a JLU, and see over the top... standing next to a Rubi, I can’t. Noticed the same with several JLUs and several RUBIs. Next time I’m at the lot I’ll double check the tire sizes... but at the time I don’t remember much discrepancy.
Of course, the Rubi fender flares are higher... but the rooftops are what caught my attention. ;{

there's 2.3" difference in the tires alone. based on the sport vs rubicon tire spec from the specifications page in the general forum section.

So you should be able to get rubicon or aftermarket fenders throw 35" tires on a sport and it should fit.

GO ME! The sport S that I don't own yet is coming together baby!

both girly, they both have sunshades.

It is amazing how the lift and tires make the whole body of the truck look bigger, albeit its also in the foreground.

EDIT: my bad, forgot to mention the 2.3" difference would only net a 1.15" overall height increaes because of the radius increase, not diameter increase.

I'm pretty sure the one in the front is a Brute and not a Gladiator.

good eye, the rear wheels on the black one do look to be farther back.
