    I would leave it alone, throw the grabbers on, and call it good. Its got a good stance now, and if it ain't broke...

    I'd do the 2.5 just to get the front level

    Like others said, I'd leave it as is, but for the new tires why not get the 265/75 and give yourself an extra inch or so of height. The 265/75's will supposedly fit stock height so they'd definitely work for you.

    If u go taller you'll want bigger tires, i'm running OME 884's w/1.5 aal went with 275/70/17's. Check out the 275/70's you'll be happy!

    I have bfg at's and i think they are catching on all that plastic in reverse at full lock but i've only heard it catch twice since i got the bigger tires installed. The good thing for you is if you have rubbing you can go to 2.5 i'm stuck where i'm at. Besides trimming that plastic crap in the fender well would take about 2 seconds with a pocket knife. Why are new cars all plastic???

    Like the stance as well. The more aggressive tires will help a LOT.
