Default should I lift even more?
I just got my tires put on (Falken 315x70r17) 1 inch BL and BW Flat flares. I have my 2.5 in lift sitting in the garage. Now Im wondering if it would be too much. No rubbing what so ever and very minor offroading. Is also a daily driver. Any thoughts?

Jeep looks good. The other option would be to install the 2.5" suspension lift and take the body lift off. Using both lifts along with the flat fenders might create too much clearance. Then you would probably wanna go 37's.

I would leave it. Save a lot of headaches, money...we all will have a different opinion. It looks great.

It looks good and if it suits your wheeling needs it's probably fine to keep it as is.

I think any more lift with the flat fenders will start making the tires you presently have look small
