Could anyone post pics of a JKU with just 2.5" of lift and stock 17" wheels and tires. I can swing the lift but won't be able to afford the tires for awhile. Just wondering if my JKUR will look ridiculous. Side shoots would be best. I hope I'm not asking too much
Thanks,
Junior

 

I'd put the funds in a savings account if you can and wait... I put 2.5 lift when I had 275/70R17 and I thought it looked weird.
The pics are out of order but that's mine with 275 tires and no lift, then with 2.5 and 275, then going to 315/70R17 and I'm as I write this putting another 3/4" on it.

 

Here is mine with AEV 2.5" lift and the stock BFG MTs still on. It didn't look terrible.

 

Nice looking JK. Did the AEV 2.5" lift take the rake out of the front end?

 

Im having the same dilemma, I want to go with the AEV 2.5" lift but can't swing the bigger tires just yet....so I had an idea of putting spacers on to bring the stock wheels/tires out a bit further past the fenders, just so the tires don't have that weird look that seems like they're tucked in too much after the lift is put on

I haven't done this yet, its just an idea for a quick fix

Ditto. I also have the TF leveling kit installed for now.

Here are couple pics of mine before and after. I did have 1.5 inch wheel spacers. I ran it like that until I convinced my wife that I needed tires. It is the Teraflex 2.5 BB.

I think it looks fine with stock wheels and tires.
