Default Quick Mod Question

Well it may be too late if everything shipped out but real quick. My Trail Grappler 295/70R18s will be delivered Thursday. I currently have a TF 2.5 lift and Bushwacker Flares on order, may have already shipped, and am having second thoughts. Thinking about ditching one. It's my DD and doesn't see much off roading. I'm leaning towards keeping the flats and running them w the 34s. Then the lift wouldn't void my warranty.

Thoughts?

I believe that small of a lift will not void your warranty. Pretty sure you can go up to a 4" lift total before its voided. Just don't do any modifications to the drivetrain.

Yea, I'm stick between either going w the lift or flares, prob not both. I think the tires will look small even though some guys say they measure on the low 34 range. Help me out fellas.

I'd say lift it. Bigger tires with no lift and flat flares doesn't look right to me. There's plenty of pictures on here of both setups figure out which looks better to you and go from there.

lift it. Trim your stock flares later if you want to. I think mine looks hella good with the lift and the 295/70/17 trail grapplers with stock flares.

I personally like the trimmed stock flares over any of the aftermarkets but I may be alone on that.
