Hello again to all. I have a 2023 Rubicon with what is believed to be a Rough Country 3.5 lift. It also has a Rough Country fairly heavy front bumper as well as a 10k winch. The tires are Kanati Trail Hog AT in 37x12.50r17.

From an appearance standpoint in the front the tires almost look small. So, I measured the distance between the top of the tire to the lowest point just inside of the lip. This would most likely be the area that the tire might hit or rub.

There is 9" of clearance. My question is would that be about right for a 3.5 lift on a Rubicon? Or,might I have a different lift ( installed by previous owner )? If anyone has a comparable set how much clearance do you have?

Thanks in advance for your help!
