Default 315/70/17 with no spacers safe?

I ordered a set of spacers and they sent me the wrong ones. so in the mean time no where in Houston has any in stock and I really would like to get the jk off of the jack stands....it makes me nervous it just sitting in the driveway on jack stands lol. So i was wondering I know it'll probably hit the rear sway bar link but if I don't drive it and just leave it sitting there when I drop it down on the tire is it going to bend or affect anything? I won't drive it until I get the spacers just would rather it be sitting on something more stable that 4 stands. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

are the tires on the stock rims? if so, I cant really help you much, but with mine,I have the same size tires on new rims with 4.5" of backspace with no lift but trimmed my flares and it drives fine, cant go too extreme off road but I like the low stance

hopefully someone else has more info for you

Not 100%, but they shouldn't rub with no lit just setting there, only at droop. Just set it down slow if you're worried and watch the links. If they get too close put her back on the stands.

wow sorry so I guess I left out the fact that I do have a 2.5 teraflex coil lift...I just am worried about my rear sway bar linkage bending or messing up the tire without a spacer seeing as it was already a tight squeeze with just my stock tires

All he is asking is if it will be ok to take it off if the jack stands until his spacers come in, and will not be driving it until then. If I understand the post correctly.

But that is definitely rubbing! Lmao

I had my Kuhmo mts mounted without spacers and a 2.5 RC lift. I rubbed on the back drivers control arm. I didn't install the trackbar relocation bracket.
