Default Changed wheel size....Does it look funny?

Ok well just took off the 33x12.5x15's and now on some 30x9.5x15 and my ride is soooooo much better, plus my Dana35 will have alot of pressure relieved. Should I remove the 4 inch lift now that I am running smaller tires to improve the ride......kinda think it looks funny, what ya think does it look wierd now with the lift and small tires?

I wouldnt know. I only deal with the toughest Jeep. (XJ) I have seen some wranglers around town that have been lifted and have small tires and to me it looks really funny. So drop it down to take off some stress.

think it looks fine, not as good as with the 33s but hey if it fits your purpose then I say run with it. You can always get a used set of 33s on some rims for trail riding and have the best of both worlds
