That is my current setup (not for much longer) it does not look as bad as my stock 29inchers with the lift! But the JKs fenders are so big that 35s look best. Years ago 32s or 33s were "big" tires?

Here's a pic. At the time I was running a 2.5" TF coil lift w/a 1" body lift. Ran it for a couple of months before I upgraded to 35s...Kinda looked funny to me with all the extra space between the tires and flares but I was just happy to have the lift installed...

Here's a pic with the 35s installed. The bigger meats really filled those wheel wells perfectly...

You look at lifted trucks and you normally see lots of space between the tire and the fender wells too. I don't think anything of it.

Well i guess its mot that bad but im considering either a TF 2.5 coil spacers or a 3 in lift. Im leaning towards the 2.5 spacer its the best bet between 2 and 3 in and i can still run 35.... There will be some rubbing issues though
