Default How will it look?

I want to add a 3" lift to my Ram. It's running the factory size wheels (17") and tires. If I got the lift without getting newer, taller tires, how do you think it would look? Anybody have a photo of it? I just wouldn't want to be like those trucks that are lifted but the wheels look so small on it.

This is the 3" lift i'm looking at as well..

2wd stock is 245 70 17. It will look weird. Been there done that. Get 285 70 17 aka 33"

Thats what I figured... I'll probably purchase the lift but not install it until i'm ready to buy new wheels. I priced out some Cooper Discoverer SST's in 35"x12.5/17's. Cant wait.

The stock 2nd Gen 2500 Rams sat sky high and had tiny tires. Looked ridiculous.
That's how yours will look.

It's not a bad little bargain basement 2WD lift kit. Shocks are generic Tenneco with Rough Country stickers. Keep your 17" wheels and slap some 33" tires on them and it'd look killer...
