Anyone have this combination and some photos they'd mind sharing? I'm looking at new tires but don't want to have to buy more later if I get a mild lift (like a CRD OME package or similar). Does a KJ look goofy with 225's and a lift?

I just lifted mine this weekend, still has stock 225/75/16's. With out asking anybody, most of my friends that were around the shop said it actually looked ok with the stock tire size. IMO they look a little small, but not bad at all. I am planning on 245/70/16 before the snow flies. I do not think it is worth all of the trimming and such to get 245/75's on, plus fuel consumption should not change as much either. 235/75/16 are another option. I believe 245/70 and 235/75 will fit stock with little or very minimal rubbing (might ask those that have done it). Sorry, no photos yet. Pester me and I would likely be able to get you some.... The lift is a FLII OME HD and i added about 3/8 inch ot the clevis and an extra spring isolator in the back. Despite the cost, I would never consider any other lift option. It was worth the month of potato soup for dinner to get the lift....
