IF you are not taking it off road I would not worry about spacers. I don't think there will be an issue with rubbing anything at that size, if it does it would be minimal. Now if you go off road and discconect the front sway bar links you will be hitting the fenders hard and risk cutting the rear tire should you get in a spot that really pushes on the wheels.

Any off roading would be done on the beach. It seems to rub on the frame at full turn. If I needed to turn that tight I would be going really slow.

Can't wait to take pictures! It looks great!

I would run some spacers. Just incase you need full lock turning. I run this same setup and love it. Actually right now I am on 1.25" spacers, but im going to 1.5" soon. I am going with teraflex spacers.
