    Finally stumbled upon another Trailhawk to do a side by side comparison with after I put the lift & tires on. Ive looked at tons & tons of post on here and I cant remember seeing a lifted vs stock TH side by side pic. I saw one that was a lifted Latitude vs stock TH press photo but it had to have had more than what I have done or the pic was angled just right because the difference was way more noticeable than mine. Parked next to the stock TH, it was only slightly noticeable from most angles until you looked down at the bottom of the door sills. Thats the only place I could really tell with the naked eye. Ol Bruce has the Daystar lift & 235/65R17 tires.

    Yep, I can tell. It also looks like your tires are a bit wider and spaced out? What size tires and spacers?

    Lol, nevermind on the tire size. Curious about the spacers though.

    They're 1" spacers I got off eBay for $70. They were listed as 25mm hubcentric 5x110 spacers for a Chevrolet. Easier/cheaper to find them if you search for the Chevy instead of the Jeep. Had them on for 3 months now with no issues. Not a big fan of spacers but they'll do for the short term before I get some wheels with the proper offset. Couldn't stand the tucked in look they have stock.

    I think yours looks noticeably higher. And good job on the spacers. Trailhawk especially look funny cause the wheels are tucked so far in. I know its cause the tires are skinnier. It looks weird tho.

    I agree about the spacers and how they are much needed - the tucked in look is gross. I've been thinking about getting them, but I would rather get rims with a wider offset. There's just not a whole lot of rims out there with the 5x110 bolt pattern.. And the stock rims (at least the blacked out ones on my DH) look pretty decent. I can't make up my mind whether to run spacers or invest a lot more $$ to get nice rims custom drilled with 5x110.
