You make a good point...but I guess I didn't think a Jeep would have that much of a problem with those areas to begin with. At least not the problems I have with my low slung 'vette with a mile of hood out in front of me. However, if there is one thing I have learned after having owned this vette for 16 years...EVERY car enthusiast has their OWN idea of what looks good to them. My cup o' tea may not be yours...and whatever makes the driver happy is what is important...not what others think.

Spexx, I would not jack up the rear end like the muscle cars of old...IMO, that puts too much weight and strain on the front end components. You may want stiffer springs or shocks to give you better clearance. Or drive slower over bumps so you don't bounce onto the bump with the shelf when the tires come down the speed-bump/incline.
