Pretty much just curious what a 2" lift with the stock Rubicon wheels & tires looks like, if anyone might have one or two. I know what it looks like with all the other tire sizes, don't need those.
 
OME 2.5 SL + 1.25 BL before the tire change. Has stock tire size (245/75r16).

They look pretty tiny, especially with the BL. I appreciate the photo. Hopefully will get some with just the SL...
 
Old pic with a 2" budget boost and 1.25" body lift. I wish I wouldn't have sold the Rubi rims. I have a new use for them now.

I just posted this in another thread, but may be relevant here. I can take more pictures later if you like,
You only see the awesome jeep not the messy garage (Waves arm like a Jedi)

But here is Wifees Jeep.
2" OME HD, with 31x10.5r15 Duratracs; It is a 2000 sport: (the rims are a 3.75 offset though, so if you are using the stock wheels they won't stick out like these do)

You are going down from 265s to 245s?
 
Oops sorry, I misinterpreted the tread, and I haven't even been drinking. It looks like you are looking for something more specific. I think I got confused with the tires size response. I thought you were looking for the lift and tire size not specific to a wheel. Sorry I will grab some popcorn, and sit idly by just observing now.

2" lift with 31 10.5 r15 which, I believe, is the same size tires the Rubicon came with (but on 16" wheel)

Considering. One way to give the TJ a little more zip...although it's hard not to drink the bigger, badder, lower-geared kool aid...

I really like my 4.10 gears, but they're right on the edge for 265s.

No worries. Your photo was right in line with what I'm asking. I realize more TJs are not Rubicons, so I have to take what I can get. If perhaps a photo of a Rubi shows up with 2" of lift and 245 tires, there you go!
 
Very nice, thank you! I really like your TJ. Although, I'm a little confused - your profile says 3" body lift, and your post says 2" lift...which do you have, and is it a spring or body lift?
Thanks! Typo on the profile. It's a 2" budget boost (spacer over the springs) which will be going away soon to be replaced with a real 2.5" system with shocks, springs control arms, etc..

What system do you plan to replace the spacers with?

Old Man Emu with 2.5" spring lift, disconnects, control arms and track bars. I'll leave the MML and BL that come with and ad another 1.25" on the shelf for the time being. My off-roading is mild to moderate and no rock crawling, with 85-90% of time spent on-road. Looking to maintain factory or better ride but improve off-road capability. I'm happy with the 31's and the largest tire I'd ever consider going to down the road would be 33".
