Default Pictures of 2" Lift with 255-60r18s?

Anyone have any pictures of a 03/04 disco with a 2" lift and slightly larger than stock 255-60r18's?

It would be much appreciated.

I installed TF SLS spacers and MD front springs. I have 255/70R18 tires. They are 32.1" in diameter.

How do you like your lift? Did you notice a change in MPG?

I love the lift. It has improved the ride. The old shocks were shot. Since hte last photo, I have installed TF sliders. They help the kids climb in.
I pretty much drive around town very little highway. Most of my trips are short, a few miles. I probably get around 8 MPG. I need to calibrate my Ultraguage. I need ot find a road with mile markers. My speedo is about 5% low compared to the Waze app on my phone. I am thinking of changing my 02 sensors to see if my MPG iimproves.

I have a 2" TF medium lift on mine with and love it. Here are a couple of pictures that I took after the install. I have the Nitto Terra Grapplers in 255/60-18. The truck rides much better than before, but I believe it still had original springs/shocks on it. My next set of tires will be a bit bigger, either 265/65-18 or 275/65-18. Probably the 275's. It should help fill up the wheel well a bit better and will give me about 2 more inches of lift. The current 255/60-18's are approximately 30.5" and the next set will be roughly 32".

Im running 255/60-18's on a stock Disco II and never heard them rub. I can post a pic if you need me to. I agree that an even bigger tire like a 255/65-18 or even a little bigger would fit under a stock Disco. The OEM tire size way too small. The bigger tires have made my ride quality sooooo much better too!
