no most of the 2.5" kits will not give enough lift for those tires
I think that Frankie's are the only lift that will clear those tires
Think about this
is 1/2" under you diff. worth the trouble that 265/75's will bring?
or can you live without that 1/2"
I know that I live with out a full inch on my TJ all the time and see little to no ill effects off road other than dragging my diff.s every now and then
you will be better served going with quality over quantity
I would go with OME suspension ,about $300 or so cheeper than a Frankie
then go with 245/75's about $200 or so cheeper for a set of 5
Take the $500 saved and get a locker for the rear
which is worth 100X more than 1/2" of ground clearance
