Heres my rubi with 3" FT lift and stock tires and wheels. Just to give you an idea of what it wil look like. I wanna fix my rake too but im just gonna wait till i get a new bumper with tire carrier to see if it will level out.
I personaly think the tires look too small. So im planning on getting 35s soon.

Little update on this...
I ended up not lifting and going with the Daystar 1.75 spacer in the front only and very glad I did this. Funny thing is I didn't want to mess with having the spacers shipped so I found a local shop 4Wheelers that happened to have some on the shelf. The best part is that they are literally right across the street from my place of business. When I went in to pick them up I asked them out of curiosity how much they would charge to put them in. $50 bucks. Since it was so cheap I just left the Jeep and walked back to work, picked it up that afternoon.
Here are some pics that I have from the last time we went out. Not the best for showing the rake adjustment. And come to think of it I really don't have any driveway poser shots from before because most of my pics are on the trail. Either way here they are, thanks for the advice everyone, I'm glad I waited on the lift. Now I can use that cash to install on board air w/ train horn and CB with PA speaker.

They left the factory spacer in, but I also have the MOPAR off road front bumper with winch mount, which adds a little weight to the front. When I add a winch I'm sure that it will sag down more in the front so I will probably have to install longer or stiffer coils in the front to make up for it. I like the Jeep when it is perfectly level and even a little taller in the front.
