Default 33" tires and 4" lift?

i have always liked the look of a big lift kit but i was wondering if it would look stupid to put a 4 inch lift kit on my 2013 jku with only 33 inch nitto all terrains, and before you say just get bigger tires thats a no go for quite a while. If you have a similar setup pics would be great thanks!

Here you go. Only reason I have this setup is when I bought my Jeep I got brand new 33s with the intention of waiting a few years for the lift and 35s. Well I won the lift kit so I am rolling with it for now. I don't mind it though. Click image for larger version

About 3.75" lift and 33s. I'm in same boat. My 33s won't wear out fast enough.

I'm in the same boat, kinda. I want 35's and an AEV 3.5 lift ($$$$) but until then my TeraFlex 2.5" BB ($$) works great with my 33's.

All your jeeps look pretty good. I honestly expected to be shot down pretty quick haha. I think I might have to wait the 2 pay rotations to get the 4 in...... Or I may break down and grab the 3.25 in 2 weeks I'm still kinda on the fence...

I would get what I want and not "settle" for something I could get sooner.

I had 33'' terra grapplers with stock wheels on a almost 4" lift...2 days later i bought 35 m/t tires on 18 wheels cause i couldnt stand it!!! Maybe if you had more aggresive tires it would be better. Only have one picture that doesnt do justice
