Default teraflex leveling kit

If I install the teraflex leveling kit and want to run 33/11.50 on stock 17 wheels, will I need any backspacing?

You'll need spacers. You might be able to run up to 33x10.5 without spacers on the stock wheels.

I run 33x11.5 bfg km2 on stok wheels with no lift, I get minor rubbing on fender during extreme articulation, also a minor rubbing on the swaybar at full turn but it cn be solve by adding washers to steering stop(explained in write-up section).Ive heard with a leveling kit that the rear swaybar links will be very close to the tire and its preferable to install them by the inside. You will also need to remove or trim your plastic air dam

With a leveling kit, you would be fine with fender clearance. But you will need spacer/new wheels or ajust your steering stops.

4.5 to 4.75 backspacing is what you want.
