You will be fine with 29s. I had a budget boost that I gor a little over 3" out of and ran 30s and they looked great, (Wish I still had that XJ) so 29s on a 2" will look similar. Sry no pics that was about 6 years ago and I had no camera.

Yep, it'll look OK, keep your eyes open for some used tires, you can get em pretty cheap sometimes!! There may even be a set of CF for sale, good luck!! Take some pics!!

That's cool, but I would personally wait. It's YOUR rig do what YOU want! Best of luck!

I actually thought about this for a moment. It wouldn't really matter what it looks like with 29's because on about the 23rd day of having the lift on and seeing those microscopic tires, you will become fed up with how it looks and upgrade to 31's. So just lift it and wait for the inevitable to happen.
