If I just run my stock rims and tires I was told there is slight rubbing up front on the sway bar with a BB. Just wanted to know if that is true or not, Thanks.

cool thanks for the advice, now if I do a 2.5 coil lift over a 2.5 BB is there any real difference i.e. front drive shaft problems?

Why would wheel spacers be needed ? Not being sarcastic in any way. I have a TF 2.5" BB and my tires are DURN close to 32" and I have no rubbing at full lockout..

Had me thinking for a second. The wheel spacers will def help stance and give it a more aggressive look as well....

Only time I feel a real difference in BB is railroad tracks and decent bumps or potholes.....

You are correct my friend. I was new to the wonderful world if jeeps, so I got the exact same size in fear of them not fitting lol...
