Bushwacker Flats or Stay Stock w/ RK 2.5" lift & 33s
Okay guys/gals...truckaddons.com is having a sale right now on their Bushwacker flats $450 shipped then $50 rebate. My dilemma is I have the RK 2.5" Max Travel lift (which netted me 4" front/3.5" rear) and 285/70/17 Toyos...Would the flats look good with on my JK? Or would I look like I'm on roller skates again?
I don't plan on moving up to 35s because I don't want to regear...I plan on sticking with 33s. The tread on my 33s is low...will need new 33s by the end of the year.
Please give me y'alls advice everyone...remember mine's a 2door so it won't look as bad, but I want to make sure that the flats will look good on my ride.
Here's a pic of what my JK looks like now.

I got all excited about the price and I noticed it was only for the two door. 4dr is still 575 . I have been thinking about this for a while now too because I want to get a 2.5in lift and the bushwackers. I am running 33's just like you for the same exact reasons. Good price for the 2dr...

Y'alls advice makes me think...when my 33s are ready to replace what if I went up to 305/70/17s. Would 305/70/17s look good with the flats? Would I need to regear from my 6spd manual 3.73s with 305/70/17 tires?

I'm thinking 305/70/17s would look better with the flats. What's everybody's opinion on that?

Very true Jakes. The Bushwacker look hot and are a great deal, but it would turn into one thing to purchase after the other. Then I'd get 34s or 35s then regear & buy a tire carrier or rear bumper w/ tire carrier to hold the weight of the bigger/heavier tire.
It's something I definitely don't want to do now that's for sure. I think I'll stay stock & maybe further down the road (next tax refund season) I do some of these things I just mentioned.
For now, I think I'll just enjoy the new look my JK has right now.
