Default 2" rubicon lift

Looking to do a 2" rubicon lift (shocks and add a leaf) on my 98 XJ 4x4.
But I want to leave my tires stock for now how would that look and how would that affect gas. This is my daily driver and I want a smooth ride on dirt roads and on the highway with a small lift and I don't want to hurt mpg to much any info and pics would be appreciated

I ran one for two years. I liked it and for the price, couldn't beat it. Afterwards, I gave it to another member who ran it for a year before he went higher and now its on another members Xj. Lol. They make good stuff. (It was the coil spacers and AAL) The second owner was cf1k1. You can see his build thread Black Betty for pics of it.

Lifting won't affect your mpg.

Only 2" I doubt there would be a noticeable change. It will also look fine with stock size tires OP

Correct. There was no change at all in mine. I ran 235/75R15 tires with no problems at all.
