Seeing as you have the owners ear, any recommendations for stock JK rims if one wanted to make the jump up to 35's or 37's?
The Stock JK Wheels will allow you to run 35's and even 37's if you wanted to with wheel spacers.

Hi David, Hey thanks, I got my spacers and lift kit from ya a year ago. Tested the works at Moab last year, and everything work great. These are some really good spacers and are very strong. Hope I get to see ya again I'll be back at Moab EJS this year too. Thanks again jeep buddy.
Also love the LOD sliders

Question, In the write-up we are to torque to 95 ft. lbs. With the instrutions from Spidertrax, it says to torque from 80-90 ft. lbs. Did they change to amount? Or is is different for Jeeps?
thanks
thanks

If you use the Loctite(like I did) initially set torque to 95lb. Then after a few hundred miles when it's time to recheck set your wrench for 90lb. If the loctite breaks then re apply and re torque.

Shit ! I just saw this write up and realized I did not remove the factory washers as shown in the tutorial... is it an absolute necessary step ? am i in danger right now ?

in my opinion, yes, it is a necessary step as they can prevent your spacers and/or even aftermarket wheels from sitting completely flush. they can potentially cause a shimmy in your wheel and, they leave open the possibility of letting your lug nuts come loose. i personally would go back and remove them - just to be safe.
