is it the teraflex kit?

If so it will be okay on the road but your rear sway link might hit the inside of the OEM wheel at full droop off road. Its pretty unlikely to happen even off road but thats the reason the instructions say 4.75 or smaller backspacing.

2.5 with stock Rubi wheels and tires; 1.5" spacers behind the wheels. Works for me.

In my opinion it looks a little strange. If you dont have the money spend a hundred bucks and get some spidertrax spacers. Will make it look better at a little cost. I had a 2.5BB on my jeep with rubicon tires/wheels and could only take it for two weeks before I bought 35s
