Default Wanting to buy..

Hey all!

I need some opinions on some purchases I want to make. I want to buy a XRC stinger bumper and bush wacker flat fares for my 11' 2 door. My only concern is I will have to use my stock P255/75R17 tires, and I currently don't have a lift. Will this set up look awkward with these tires and non lift ? All feedback is appreciated ! Thanks

Who cares what it looks like, its your jeep, as long as you see the build in your mind.. And once its done is all that matters, not all of us can just go drop 10 grand and do everything at once. Its like fixin up a house, one room at a time

Also, See if someone on here can photoshop this for you. Will give you an idea of how it'll look.

My rig currently looks like a roller skate with a 2.5" lift and stock rubi tires but at least I got one step closer to a never ending goal of modding my jeep. Do it, and don't look back.

3.25 lift and stock tires. I will go to 35's some day but just can't bring myself to replace new tires with new tires. Haha I have three teenagers that take most of my money!

Great pictures and advice. I think that setup looks like it should come factory like that.

I'm going to go for it, piece my jeep together little by little.
