Go back to my post...I'm running stock wheels with MTR"S /K...275/70/18's with NO spacers..I only had a very slight rub on the sway bar ends at full lock..
If your still running stock tires you'll have no rub.
Stock wheels and tires you are ok. No need for wheelspacers but like ifshinxs said you will have to adjust your steering stops a little.

The wheel spacers will give it a very aggressive look and I prefer them but They are not needed on the leveling kit. The other TF kits they are .

sorry for any confusion.

David

I'd like to wait to get this stuff until I'm ready for the bigger lift and tires. I've read everything I can find on the Teraflex levelling kit, but I haven't found a definitive answer to this. Thanks in adnvance for opinions!
its not needed IMO, i installed the leveling kit from Northridge( 2" frt 1" rear) 2 months on a 2010 Sport unl.and no problems so far it rides stock.

I just installed mine. Just under 40 min. I didn't even have to take the tires off. Just the shock bolts, and sway bar bolts and jack it up one side at a time on the frame with a jack and the springs fall right out. saved alot of time not taking the tires off. from ground to under the front fender I am at 38" in the front and 37" in the rear. I am on stock rubicon tires. it looks level and looks alot better. This is the ride height jeep should have delivered stock. And maybe they did I can't rember. But I got alot of sag after installing the bumpers. should sit perfectly level after I get a winch. Good kit for entry level while I save up for tires and a real lift.

here are some pictures after.

Thank's to all for the info and pic's! Pulled the trigger and got it ordered. Wasn't about to go another year at stock height and for me I think this kit will do. If I ever get to the Badland's or Rausch Creek, I'll just have the stick to the "Bunny Hills". Anyway this lift and the IPF's my JK Spending Account is already pretty much gone for this year.

I've been running this since it came out. Not one issue. Took about 1 hr to install with strut compressors and manual wrenches. I'm also runnig 1.5" spidertrax due to bigger tires, 295/70 R 18 Duratracs, never had to retorque. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

Just installed mine this afternoon, it was straight forward but took me over 3 hours. Oh well, it's done.

I do have a question, I don't have a grease gun (yet), is it bad if I drive around without greasing the sway bar links for a couple of days until I can get them lubed up?
