Great...Thanks for the info...Once I take delivery of the '12 JKUR, I will have two sets of 17" moab rims (1 set from the JKUR & a 2nd set from my old '08 JKU that I sold). I will use the stock 32" Rubis when I take her in for safety inspections or trips to the dealership and the 2nd set (Install 33" Duratracs with wheel spacers) & leveling kit for all the other times...Then maybe later, much, much later I will install a 3 - 4" lift kit and upgrade to 35s unless I get tempted to do it sooner....

No you DO NOT need spacers for stock tires. I'm running bigger than stock and still dont need them.

Default Stock to Teraflex 1.5 comparison

I know it's an old thread, but for those who are looking into Teraflext 1.5 Performance Leveling Kit here is how it compares to stock springs (13 front, 55 rear) that were on my 2013 Sahara 2DR with soft top and towing package. The ride is definitely firmer with stock Sahara shocks and new springs, yet still very comfortable and I like it noticeably more. By the way, based on how far brake lines extend with stock shocks I personally wouldn't be comfortable putting in longer shocks or shock extensions without doing anything to the brake lines.
