2008 JK Wrangler 4-door with Nitto 295/70/17

A shop quoted me to add 2.5" spacer to front and 1.5" spacer to rear of my JK to level - but did not include shocks. Should I replace my stock shocks?

33xs12.50R17 with OME HD Coil Spring lift gave me about 3.25" of lift. I went this route for the added bumper & winch weight as my 2" BB and stock springs sagged badly.

My 4 door JK with 33's and no lift. I'm saving up to get a TF 2.5 lift in the future...

When 4-wheeling it does hit the fender when I really bottom out... but other than that, no rubbing at all. I have a stubby bumper too, that helps.

Some trail shots...

When you measure your MPG, are you correcting the actual miles driven by the larger tire size? if not, you are actually traveling more miles than what you think, therefore, your gas mileage seems much worse. If your tire is now 35" and the stock was 30, your actual mileage is 35/30 x miles shown in your gauge. So, you are actually travelling 16.66% more.

Here you go, but I'm moving up to 35's as soon as my tires wear out in a month or two.

Old thread.... Though I wish when people posted problems like this that they'd follow up with what they did.
