Help with new tire setup Lift & Spacers?
I have a stock 08 Sahara, I am going with KM2's 33" MT on stock 18" rims using 1.5" wheel spacers and no lift, which I seen works for others.
I decided to give it a bit more room with a 2" Spacer Lift Kit. Do I still need to use the wheel spacers? Any harm running with or without the wheel spacers?
My main goal is apprearence its my DD and light offroading for now, trails, camping and such, like to have it if I need it sort of thing

The lift gives you height - for a taller tire.
The wheel spacer gives you offset/backspace - for a wider tire.
The stock rim is offset to tuck the tire way back into the wheel well, a wider tire on the stock rim will rub things that don't want the attention...
