I have a quick question , I've looked around and couldn't find it , but anyways , do I need spacers for a TF 2.5" BB with stock wheels , I understand that I'll probably need them when I get bigger tires , but I'd like to wear these tires out first , thanks

Do you mean while using the stock tires? No. You won't need wheel spacers until you go to larger tires.

Nope. Only when getting wider and/or taller tires, they maybe needed.

New coils or coils spacers. No need for wheel spacers.

I got the Teraflex 2.5" coil lift. I have stock size MTs and put the spacers on. I think it looks a little better with the wider stance. It also appeased my wife. She's always tapping that friggin tipping Jeep sticker. I told her that the Jeep's now 3" wider and less likely to tip!

That's a good point , I do like the wider stance too.

You should tell her it has a roll cage, so what's the big deal. Also, you can always roll it back onto it's wheels and drive home.
