Not really looking to replace 5 perfectly good KO2 with 20k miles on them but may want to go ahead with the lift. I am concerned that it may not look right with the 33s. Anyone done it and have pics?

searched but didn’t see anything obvious in the results.

May not be the best representation as mine is a 80th Anniversary Edition with the Mopar lift.

Here is a pic of mine from another thread. Mopar lift with no spacers. Rubicon take-offs. I think it looks fine. I have since replaced the aluminum wheels with the spare tire steel wheels (same tires).

I have Rubi takeoffs as well. I’m curious why you exchanged the spare to be a steelie? I’ve been doing 5 tires rotations.

I think the steel wheel gives it a cool retro look. I never got into a 5 tire rotation. Just means you will need to buy 5 new tires instead of 4. :)

I exchanged all the wheels to the steel wheels. Unless you changed the spare wheel it should have the steel wheel and no TPMS sensor.

I like the looks of the steel wheel. Kinda retro and tough looking. That and the Rubicon wheels are getting pretty common. Other than a few pics on this forum I've never seen another JT with this wheel setup. Another plus, I don't have to worry as much about scratching a wheel. A little satin black spray paint and good to go.

Not a great pic but here it in the wild.

ETA: All five wheels and tires are the same so I can do 5 tire rotations in the future.

Ah! Ok, makes sense. And yes, I got wrangler rubi takeoffs so swapped the spare for a styled wheel.
