Default Lift Question

Can I use my stock 18s tires and rims that came on my 2008 wrangler unlimited sahara with my 2.5 terraflex lift kit with coils and shocks, without spacers? Waiting for new tires and rims pretty soon. Newbie.

with the new rear swaybar endlinks you will most likely rub your tires on them without offset wheels. i would recomend a set of spacers or rims. i know this was the case with my lift but it might be different with the terra endlinks. i am sure someone that has this lift will chime in. it is a very popular lift on the forum.

If they rub, move the sway bar links to the inside.

subscribed. I'm planning to do something similar, but definitely with spacers.

Once you get the lift installed, post some pics with your stock wheels/tires. I want to see how badly/quickly I'll need to upgrade the wheels/tires (unless I can find a deal on some Rubi take-offs locally)
