I need to know if I need wheel spacers.

08' Sahara Stock 18" rims.
The Teraflex 2.5" Coil lift w/ new shocks.
I am planning to get 275/70/18 GY Duratrac's.
The shop that did the lift said with the coil lift spacers are not needed. I thought they were.
Thanks

no, they aren't "needed" but, i would recommend them as without them, the sidewalls of your rear tires will sit really really close to the sway bar link bolts if not touch them. yes, you can mount the links on the inside of the sway bar but, i think the spacers are the better way to go.

Spartangreen

Yes, the shop installed the links on the inside of the sway bar for this reason.

Is there one that is better than the others and how much spacing would be required
for stock 18" rims with no lift?

wayoflife

at one time or another, i have used spidertrax spacers on all my jeeps and they have always worked without any problems. for a jk, i would recommend the 1.5" spacers.

TeraFlex

Coil spacers won't be needed but some 1.25" wheel spacers will be needed.

Thanks Eddie.
Looks like Im going to be letting my fingers do the shopping.again

That's what I meant wheel spacers. Are wheel spacers needed.

I'm seeing conflicting information.

TeraFlex

Yes wheel spacers are needed with stock wheels to allow clearance between the rear swaybar/swaybar links and the back of wheel/tire.
