Default How Bad Will Look?

I have a Gift Certificate for a 3.5" RC Lift, how awful will my Rubicon Look with 3.5" lift and stock BFG's
any one with pics would be greatly appreciated. I will upgrade to 35" tires when financially possible.

Why not just use the gift certificate and get the lift, then wait to do the install after you buy the tires?
Unless the install is included...

They do look a little funny lifted that high with stock tires, but hell it was free!

Man, no question.. Get it done! Don't sit on a free lift and installation. Even if the tires look small, it will give you incentive to save up for bigger tires

A set of USA made Spidertrax 1.5" wheel spacers will make your Jeep look better with the new lift too!
