Would a 2" body lift look stupid If i kept the stock size tires on there? They're brand new michelins so I don't really want to throw away brand new tires.

I do not think it will look bad at all. I ran around on my 235/75R15 rts tires with a 2inch torsion twist and shackles for 8 months, some thought it looked kind of silly, but the tires were still good, so why replace good tires. Tires aren't cheap, so if you don't mind a larger fender gap then go for it. As long as you like the way it looks then thats all that matters.
 






Man, do what makes you happy...like he said if you don't mind a little more clearance/fender gap until your tires run out then do it..besides.."everything's bigger in texas!!!"
 






I did it for awhile. It looked pretty good IMO. Go for it.
 






Yeah, i did it too. its fine.
 






i just got a 3" BL on mine this weekend and it looks great. at first i thought it looked pretty stupid with the stock tire & wheels but after a few days of driving it im starting to like the look of it. Im prob going to ride on the stocks for a while b/c they only have bout 5000 miles on them.

Go for it i think it will look great.
