I believe if you stay with the stock wheels and stock tire size you do not NEED spacers, but I will be adding 35'' KM2s and 17x9 Pro Comp Wheels 7005 series. I'll be posting pictures later on today

I've had the same kit on my JKU for awhile now stock sport tires and rims. No spacers. I haven't had any issues (knock on wood)

swap the 2d springs out for 4d ones...i had some difficulty with putting mine on in my garage buttttt, autozone or any auto store usually rents out coil compressors. I payed roughly $52.00 to "buy them" but will be refunded once im done using them, pretty sweet deal and allows you do install them yourself instead of a garage.

gl!

EDIT: Just saw you already swapped them, looks much better!!!!!

I went ahead and bought the superchips 3875, which I haven't installed yet. I know this though, I was getting 20 mpg stock. I just made a 4 hour trip to Memphis after the install and averaged 14.2 mpg, but I am hoping to increase that by a couple with the superchips flashpaq. I didn't get an alignment. My steering was still straight as ever afterwards and thanks. I have had the jeep for 6 months now, so it was about time to get things going!!

I just curious what your measurement now is ground to fender. I have the same Kit and 315/75/R16 tires and i measure 39.5" from the bottom of the fender to the ground. I've had the kit for a year now and i'm just wondering if and how much it settled or sagged even with stock bumpers.
