Default JKU with teraflex leveling kit tire size?

Exactly as title says what tires can I run with a teraflex 2" front 1" rear spacer kit for tires. Would like to run 315/70/17 but probably not likely. Next year Would like to upgrade to a 2.5" rk mod stock. Currently running pro comp 17x8 4.5" back spacing with 0mm offset. Other options have been 295/70 and 305/70. Might do ace flat fenders first too. If needed.

I would think it would work if you trim the fenders and pinch seam and run wheels with shallow backspacing.

Anything larger than 33" will hit the stock flares. Leveling kit or stock set up the stock bump stops limit the up travel exactly the same.

37's, no lift. I think they could handle 35's with your leveling kit.

But if you are cool with chopping the stock flares or going with any of the flats on the market, no reason not to do the 35's. Trim the pinch seam a bit if needed, maybe.

Just a heads up, the rear pinch seam is already trimmed on 2014+ JK's. My buddy and I were checking out the differences the other day when I was talking about plastidipping the pinch seam on mine after a rock slider install. Sure enough, mine is cut to a 45 from the factory, where his 2013 JKU still came strait down.

So take a look at yours, as you may only need to modify/swap the fenders.

I'm running a 315/70/17 Kelly Safari TSR with a leveling kit and have only rubbed the fender once with no damage and that was on a trail run. I don't do any rock crawling, so I can't speak for what would happen at full flex. I've had them on for about 15,000 miles. I'm also running an aftermarket bumper and winch and still no problem.

So your the spacer leveling kit or is the spring kit from teraflex? Just verifying it's the same setup. Looks real nice.

Both the spacer and coil version will lift the JK 2" front and 1" rear on a stock JK.

At full flex it will rip the flares off. I have 2 inch bumpstop extensions and my 35s very lightly rub the flares and full flex.

Just a good reason to go flats after that, lol. Thanks for the info.
