Help with ride height on 72 Jimmy

[KevJim72]

I have a 72 Jimmy 4X4 (mine is the one on trailer in picture) and I want to close the wheel well gap. I like the look of this orange one that I have used as reference (worldwide vintage autos). The current tire/wheel combination on my project is LT 265/70R/17 and I don't like the gap. The orange one for reference has a smaller tire but less of a gap (LT 205/70/R17). Both are 4X4, is it possible the orange one has some lowering suspension components?

How do you recommend I close the wheel well gap on my Jimmy? Wheel/tire combination? I would like to keep wheel size 17 inch or larger.

If you want to close the gap, use larger tires. Lowering will cause you issues. If you want something lowered, get a 2WD. Lowering a 4X4 will cause the suspension to bottom out.

Get some 33" tires on there. Should look great.
