I'm having a 2.5 lift installed on thursday. I'm still up in the air regaurding new wheels. If I just use my stock wheels for a short while without spacers. what's the worst that can happen when installing 35"

 

The tires rub? You rip the links off? You can't turn as sharp?

But on the plus side, it may get rid of that stupid plastic skid for you...

 

The worst that could happen? You could cut down a tire on the highway and crash! Just kidding! I think the issue is the new, longer, front sway bar links. They could possibly rub a little on the stock rims. You could install the lift and just wait to put the new sway bar link on until you get new wheels. That is what Teraflex suggested to me when I asked this same question to them. It's not ideal, but it would work temporarily.

 

without spacers, the sidewalls on your your rear tires will rub the sway bar link ends. you will also have rubbing issues at a full turn and when on the trail flexing. i have seen where this can cause the side walls to tear as it digs into the sway bar.

 

 

Hey,

throw a wrenching party and i'll come over to help you install. Save a few $$$$$$

 

My rear swaybar links are on the inside I have the Teraflex BB spacer lift and stock 32" tires and wheels. I can see how a 35's would rub in the front on full turns but there looks to be room on the rear.

 

thanks for the info..... So is it best to do both front and rear spacers until I figure out what wheels I want?

 

ya. the ideal situation would be to get them. but if your not planning on doing ANY off roading, i'd say your ok!

 

so if i plan just to do city and freeway driving I should be good? for the time being? what rubbing like in the pics>?
