Question body lift, tire combo stupid????

Hey guys! I'm wondering if I should wait till I get 35" tires next year to put the body lift on I ordered... Would a 3" body lift look stupid with General at2 265.70.16 tires (which have 300 miles on them) on my stock wheels? 01 F150 with the torsion bars cranked up a couple inches... I dont want to install this lift and find out I don't like it without bigger expensive tires... Anyone got any pics of a setup like this or any thoughts?... Guess I could always throw a couple jacks under her and take a gander but I'd like to hear some of your thoughts... Thank you

Thanks Drenal, I figured it might look kinda dumb... i probably will wait since I thought these tires looked a little funny even just crankin the torsion bars to level it out, haha... anyone else?? sucks cuz I just bought these tires and then decided to start doin some mods...

oh nice Dnasty! Thanks... I could live with that look for quite a while. that rig doesn't look one bit of unattractive!! although some may disagree and I myself think it'd look a little more b/a with some more rubber but it definitly looks good as is, not silly like I predicted... what type of lift(s) is givin you the 7.5"?
