Throw in wheels with slightly less backspace and it would look like this on a four door:

I plan on doing the OME HD kit with front and read track bars. 305/70/r16 on the BF KM2 and some pro comp wheels. That would be my ideal set up since it is my daily driver. Now who wants to give me the money to do it?

Here are 33's and a 2" Rubicon Express BB for a visual and I have been extremely pleased with this lift...no issues with rubbing with 4.5 BS wheel. I went with 33's based on only having a 3:73 rear and I drive through many mountian passes and power was an issue for me.

I don't see that you mentioned whether you had a 2 dr or 4 dr. Let me stongly suggest that if you have the 4 dr you should go with the 35's. Not that 35's wouldn't be great on a 2 dr; it's just that the 4 dr needs 35's because of the longer wheelbase.

I think it all depends on the gears you have stock....3:21, 3:73 or 4:10's as well as IF you are planning on upgrading your gears (4:88 or 5:13's) depends on the size of tire you are looking at 35's, 37's or 40's.

3:21's would not cut it with 35's if you lived in the mountians.
3:73- cuts it but can be annoying on mountian pass climbs at highway speeds
4:10 - should not be a real problem.

I stuck with 33's on my 4 door with 3:73 as I have no plans on re-gearing for several years. It is bearable with 33's on mountian pass climbs....but I could not imagine 35's and 3:73. Wide 33's don't look bad to me with a 2" lift and is very functional for off-roading.
