Default Backspacing meaning?

I heard stock wheel is 6.5 back spacing.


My aev wheel is 4.5

And i'll add spidertrax 1.5 ' spacer soon.

So it gonna be 3' back spacing?

Does it gonna add more stress to ball joints and tie rod?

Yes your B.S with be 3.0".. In theory the further you hang off the hub, the harder it is on components!! Although, i haven't really heard a lot of Jeep guys really have any issues with this!! Only independent suspension guys!!
