Default 2.5inch bb on stock 2010 jeep wrangler sahara unlimited with factory wheels and rims.

I was wondering if you guys have some pics of a 2.5inch bb lift on a stock jeep wrangler sahara unlimited.

Any pics would b aprreciated.
im just scared my tires will look small.

i just measured them and i believe they are 30inches tall, im a jeep noob and am wondering if i get this lift, will i need backspacing?

No backspace needed to lift that comes with bigger-wider tires . And they will look small but I'd just run them till they r worn out and then go to a 33

The Sahara wheels should measure right around 32" depending on how much air you have in them.
What is the reason you want to lift the jeep with factory tires?

2.5 coil lift (teraflex) on stock Rubicon tires and cut fenders

2.5 rock crawler on 37's

Stock with cut fenders

You will need at least rear wheel spacers because or else your sway bar links in the back will tear up your tires

Ok thx guys, but I'm pretty sure when I measured emm my stock tires are 30inches tall, remember this is a Sahara not a Rubicon. But when I get home after work I'll measure them again.

So couple of you are saying I dont need backspacing, and some of you are saying I do??, this is just a bb lift so I won't b replacing coils or shocks. Could you please clarify, thx

Not sure since its a budget boost but my coil lift needed it because when I flexed I rubbed

A sahara has the same size as a rubi its 255/70/18 only the rim size changes.
