Default Lift questions

Well I ordered my OME lift and its on its way.

My next question is my tires are 265/75/16 .... roughly 32's .......... will the ome look ok with this tire size, and will the flex be better with the smaller tire size rather than going up?

Regardless I would like to at least ride these tires till they wear out, but just wanted thoughts on the smaller tire size with the 2.5 medium OME lift.....

It should be fine...if you REALLY need to know, take you floor jack, and prop the JK up 2"...and look at how it looks with the tires....that's how it will look.

Im guessing I will be OK with the look until I wear these out, if not I suppose ill go up a size .... at least I know I can clear 33s no problem now lol

What about the flex, how exactly does that work. ............. like no matter what size tire will it still flex the same or will the smaller tire allow it to travel a little bit more since there is tons more well space?

I am plagued by backorders
