Default Xenon Fenders & 3.5" RE lift

I have a 4 door rubicon and this afternoon fedex dropped off my narrow Xenon fenders and a 3.5" Rubicon Express superflex lift. My problem is it's going to be hard letting these sit in my garage for a few months until I build up enough cash for wheels & tires. So what will my jeep look like with narrow Xenon's (stock bumper) and a 3.5" lift? Should I wait, install both or just throw on one or the other?

Next mods will be:
Wheels & tires
gears 513
Frount & rear stubbies
AEV hood
????

My first thought is that it will look really bad with both the lift & fenders on stock tires?

Some people wait and some people jump right in....it's all up to you! I say install what you can now assuming you can use your stock wheels with the lift kit.

That is where I'm leaning now just not really sure how the fenders will look with a stock bumper? Not to mention it will give the stock tires that much more room. I guess it really comes down to when I can free up the time to do the install.

Should I be worried whether or not my stock wheels will bolt up with my lift?

Install the lift and after you get new tires to fill the well put your flares on. I think it would look funny with high clearance flares, 3.5" lift and stock tires. The lift alone would look decent since you have Rubi with stock MTs.

Put the lift on. Save the fenders until you get tires.

Put on the lift and the fenders...
It will give you good insight on exactly what rims you may want to run...
Never know once you get them on you may change you direction...

Thanks to everyone for their advice.

I'm going to throw the lift on next week and if I have enough time left I'll put the fenders on to. I'll take some befroe and after shots to post once I'm done.
