Default Teraflex lift Kit 2.5 with stock wheels

Hello All!
I'm waiting for a new 2.5" lift kit by Teraflex with front TB Monster..
In Italy, actually, the only tires I can buy are what I have altready in the docs of my car (JKU Rub), so...245 75 R17;
I've just fear that the final effect with the lift will be like a "Camel".
Has someone pictures of this configuration? And suggestion on it?
Tks

You can do a search for the rigs in transition . I don't think too many are running that combo. I installed a 3" BDS lift and drove it with stock 245's to the shop to get new rubber installed.. I shoulda took pics but I was on a mission... It looked pretty funny!!

Hi Ray! Have you the lift installed in that pic? Because it seems very equilibrated!!

I'm curious as to why you can't go with a larger tire. Is it a law in Italy, and if so is it the height of the tire, the width, or both?

I'm running the TF 2.5 with shocks and stock Rubicon tires. I don't believe it looks bad. I'm saving for 35s but I will run these bald first.

Yes the law!! To legalize larger or bigger tire of what already I have (245) I have to get a formal approval from Jeep-italy but this one doesn't issue it so or I drive not street legal or I have to do a double step legalizing the mods in German and coming back in Italy… all for only 1000$!!!! And I'm not so confident about the legality of this methods!! You know, we are Italian, if there is the opportunity to do a thing badly, of course we do it!

Dagley have you a CRD? Because I know on gasoline usually the front with TF lift is higher then the rear…
