Default Do i need spacers?

Ok I bought a 1.75" lift kit for my girlfriends jeep that she wanted ... It's made by rock Krawler and all it is is 4 coil spacers and front discos.. So my question is my gf wants 33s and I just have her my stock 17" sport rims.. So she will have stock sport rims on some 33" tire or close to it ... So with that said do I nneed wheel spacers?

Shouldn't I think I read 1" bb will give you just enough to run 33" discod & at full flex you may rub a little but I think you may be ok maybe someone else can chin in with more info

X2. The lift will be enough to get the 33's under the Jeep. The spacers will be needed to keep from rubbing the suspension.
