Default AEV 3.5" with GY Duratracs?? Pic Request.

I am thinking of going with the AEV 3.5" lift on a 2012 JKU. I also want to run 17" wheels with 315/70/17 Duratracs. My concern is that these Duratracs may look small with this lift. The Duratracs are a 'smaller' 35 tire from what I have read.

Does anyone have pics of this same set-up?? (Or 3.5" - 4" lifts by another manufacturer with this size tires would be OK too.)

Thanks!!

Give me a few days and I'll get you a pic of that exact setup. I just ordered the 315's from Discount tire as my winter set. I'm selling my previous set of 285 70r17 Duratracs as they look too small after the 3.5" AEV lift.

Brother, I have a 4.5 AEV lift with 35 Goodyear MTR's. I will go to 37's next time, but my 35's really don't look small. With 3.5 lift, they will look just right.

Those look pretty sweet for only being 35's on a 4.5" lift.

Anyone else have the AEV 3.5" w/ 315/70 Duratracs avaialble to show ??

Sorry for the delay, just got them on. Attached are some pics. They are my winter tires so have dedicated black rims (Procomps) and they are studded. I included a shot of my summer tires (35" MTRs on AEV Pintlers) for comparison. They are slightly smaller, but still fill the wheel wells nicely. They certainly ride nice!
