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....

Great CV Axle angles too (you can also see the aggressive tread pattern):
