Default will it look silly??

Looking to get a 2.5 inch Rough Country coil lift for my '07 Unlimited Rubicon. Not ready for bigger tires just yet, they only have 14k on them. Is there anyone that is running a 2.5 inch lift with their stock Rubi 285 BFG's? Will it look silly??
I plan on going to bigger meats, but the wallet just isn't big enough right now.
Pics would be great if anyone has them.
Thanks guys....great site!!

I don't think it looks bad at all. I have done this with my '10 JKU Rubicon.

Here is an after shot with a little more then 3" of lift for a 2.5" Rock Krawler Max Travel lift.

I have stock tires with my lift. I think that 35s would look better, but by no means do I think it looks silly now.

Thanks.
Looking into the 3.25 inch lift from Rough Country. It looks like there is the 2.5 inch coils with .75 inch poly spacers. Maybe running just the coils with 32 BFG's then when upgrading to 33-35's put the spacers on top. Looks like you get longer sway bars as well as track bar bracket for 3.25 in. kit as well. Looks like a better deal for $50 more.

It looks good with the aggressive looking rubicon tires, not so much on the others.
