Default 34' with 2.5 Lift and Bushwackers

My 295/70R18 Trail Grapplers are scheduled to be delivered Thursday an so is my Teraflex 2.5 coil lift, Bushwacker flats, Or-Fab tire carrier and Tuffy Security deck and now I'm getting worried.

Will the flats make the tires look to small with a 2.5 lift? I have an 11 JKU w 3.73s and wasn't going to to with the 35s, but am reconsidering the flats. Any opinions or pics would be great of anyone running a similar setup.

I have the same tires and lift, but not the flats for the same reason. I like it with stock flares with that size tires.

Interesting. Maybe the Bushwackers will be up for sale on the billboard soon. Haha. I hope some guys can post pics to help me decide.

I'd ditch the flat flares.

Yeah. The Flatties with a 2.5" lift can fit 37s with bumpstops.

Definitely going to make the tires look small. Here's a leveling kit with 35s and trimmed flares.

There ya go. Pretty much all 35s are actually 34s. I think it looks good.

That doesn't look that bad at all. I don't have full 35s but close enough. The Nitto Trails run on the bigger side as opposed to Duratracs or others. Its a tough call. I could put the money saved not buying the Bushwackers towards an AEV hood. Damn. So many things to consider. Would love to see some more pics of guys running similar setups.

I'll be running this set up soon. Got a RK 2.5 lift and BFG KM2's in 34's (305/70/r17). They measure 33 and 5/8 from the ground to the top of the tire. I parked beside a JKU w KM2 35x12.5's and the height looked the same. They looked a little wider but that was it. I like some gap between the tire and fender. The flat style fenders will pull off the look I'm going for.
