Default lift / wheel question

I lifted my JK a total of 5.25", the rims I have are offset (tires are 37"). My question is should I run wheel spacers to give me a better ride? What I mean is so it doesnt fill a bit tipsy... I have a front dual stabilizer and a front adjustable track bar. It really doesnt ride that bad but alot of folks suggested bumping my wheels out. What do you think?

a wider stance would help to lower your COG and that will make you more stable. certainly, it wouldn't hurt and so long as your local law enforcement is cool with it, i would recommend it

Been running my TJ here in Maryland with the tires sticking well outside of the Bushwhacker 6" pocket flares for a few years now w/o issue. Just didnt know if it might look wierd having these bumped outside of my Xenons
