thinking of getting the rusty's 2" lift to run 33's on my stock 17" wheels. will i need to run wheel spacers? or will I be ok without them? also, how much actual lift should I expect from that kit after putting on a new front/rear bumper and a winch? I am in a '10 X Unlimited.

 

i have the rusty's 2" BB and i gives exactly 2". i don't know if that is the one you have. Do a search for tires or wheel spacers the answer that you come up with is "depends on the width of the tire" 33x12.5 will rub 33x11.5 not as much.

 

as mentioned, 12.50" wide tires will be an issue on stock wheels especially if you are going to run new taller rear sway bar links. the link ends will be extremely close to the side walls of your rear tires and depending on the tire make, will rub them as your axle articulate even just a bit - this is not good. up front, you will most likely have some minor rubbing at a full turn as well.

 

Thanks for the input. Looks like I'm going to go with the TF 2.5" BB instead. I know I'll need to run spacers with it, but I'll probably like the wider stance anyway.
