Put a Rustys 2.5" coil kit on my 2002 Libby Sport and don't get bigger tires for a bit, will it look stupid?

any one have any pics of a 2.5" kit with stock sized 235's?

I was wondering the same thing about our CRD. So I just put a jack under the front skid and a jack under the hitch and lifted it up 2" since that is what I wanted. I didnt think it looked stupid at all, I am sure it would look better with bigger tires but it didnt look bad on stockers either.

I rode around for a few months before I got some larger tires, I don't think it looks stupid. Heres a pic:

Personal opinions differ so you can get some saying yes and some saying no. You will have to make that decision. I drive with my stocks on when not off-roading and put the bad boys on when off-roading....or if an event is coming up soon...or I get lazy and forget to swap out for a week or two. I have no issues with my stocks on. Of course, it is all about ego and if you can accept your KJ with the small tires....after letting them wear the big boys and boosting your ego.

Side shot with 235s:

I really don't think it looks that bad, but I do want some 245/75s or 235/85s just for some added ground clearance. Of course I'll have to do some pounding on the pinch weld and some other minor stuff but I think it'll be worth it.

Here's mine with the "street wheels and tires" :

This is whith the Rusty's 2.5" coil lift and stock tires. A little roomy in the wheel wells, but doesn't look too bad IMO.
