Thank you. I found what I believe to be a really good deal on a used set. I'll be taking a look at them in the morning. Should I be OK waiting until right after the tires are mounted to then pull them back off and install spacers after i get home?

Bump for my spacer question. Should I be OK running these for ~150 miles before installing spacers?

You should be fine, but you will not be able to turn your steering wheel fully since it will rub that plastic air dam under the Jeep.

No big deal, just don't turn the wheel full lock.

Thanks. I actually got them to put the spacers on when they mounted the tires (and I watched them to them / torque them by hand) but they didn't use the locktite, so when I get home I'll pull them off and use it / set the torque myself.

FYI - You may also have to slightly trim the plastic on the front air dam, or just remove it.

The air dam is long gone and I have a stubbed front bumper. The tires seem to 'fit' the vehicle very well. When I get home tonight I am going to pull everything off, use the locktite and torque appropriately just to be safe. Thanks for the assistance guys!
