Stubby looks way better overall on a lifted jeep IMO. Nonlifted, maybe a mid-width, but never full width. Just my $.02

Like Toad said you'll get more from the stubby if you do Rock Crawling...we hear people (with nice lifts) rub their mid & full bumpers while flexing and full stuff and turning off a boulder. From a looks perspective I like the stubby but I'm biased
