Default Lift and tire size?

With my tax money coming back I decided to get the RC 2.5 coil lift. I currently have mastercraft ct's 265/75/16's on stock x wheels. Is there any big need to upgrade the tire size? Pics of any 4 doors running this tire size and lift would be great. Also is there a need for anything else with this lift or does it work good out of the box?

With a 2.5" lift I'd put 33's on. It'll help fill out the wheel wells a little and keep clearance for offroading. Get a chip though for when the computer ESP starts too go off on you!

Or just recenter the steering wheel for free to get the ESP to leave you alone.

I installed that lift a few months ago - and so far I like it. I would get longer sway bar links, the front ones are pretty short, I moved my rear links to the front and got longer ones for the rear. You don't have to, but it was suggested, along with a rear track bar relocation bracket, which I haven't installed yet; my axles seem to be centered fine. I would also get rear brake line relocation brackets, at full flex your brake lines are pretty tight. I've heard RC will throw them in for a dollar when you put in your order. I used fence mending plates? I think that's what they're called, and they worked just fine.
