Run with 245/75R16 on stock rim and 2.5" lift

[pivert]

Hello,

I want to install a new tires on my KJ 2002 v6 3.7 with stock rim 16".

Can you confirm me that 245/75R16 tire on stock rim with 2.5" lift is possible without issue ?
Currently, I have stock gear 3.73. Is it possible to run everyday with 245/75R16 tires and 3.73 gear ?

For information, I'll flatten welds on both front.

Thank you for your help.

Not without issue, besides pounding over the pinch welds there will be some trimming PLUS what lift

That is to say ?

265/70 16's. On stock 16 inch wheels no wheel spacers. 2.5 inches of lift. No pinch wield pounded. Slight trimming of front air defector. Slight rub at full turn on swaybar. Gearing is fine in town. I can feel some change at highway speeds on hill climbs. But not bad .
