Default Need pics of 2.5 BB on 35's

Just installed a TF 2.5" BB on my '08 Unlimited X. I have a set of 35x12.5x17 Pro Comp Xtreme All Terrains in the garage and was thinking of throwing them on the Jeep. I want some pics to get a rough idea of how it would look.
Thanks!

Default actually you're kind of right....

they were 34.5" when I first measured them. I rounded up. With tire wear over time, yes. 34.

If you do the tire-size math, 315's MT/R's are probably true 35's (+)

I can think of lot's of BL things... not sure what you mean?

Default aha...

nope, no body lift.

i just re-measured them. Not even 34 any more. :(

I lost almost an inch somehow. All of the sudden I feel inadequate.

He is using a Forge Industries tire carrier. He makes them. I think he sells them on Ebay.

Anyone ever find this carrier? I'm putting 35's on mine this week and need some options for the spare.
