Default Teraflex leveling kit

The teraflex website says that I can run 305/70/R17 with their leveling kit. I was wondering if that's true? Or bs? Would I need wheel spacers? Cut fenders? Or can I just stick them on and go?

Please help if anyone has this leveling kit! Pictures will be great. But any response will be appreciated lol

I had 285/70R17 with that kit and stock flares. With backspacing of 4.5 I had very minor rubbing. On stock bump stops and flares I don't think 305s would work.

I have 35x12.50sR17 on stock Moab wheels and the TF spring leveling kit. It works great on the highway and light/moderate off roading. I did have some rubbing when disconnected so I trimmed the fenders and pinch seam. I still have a slight rub on the right rear at full stuff.

Was your minor rubbing on full turn? Or was it while you were flexing off road? Because its my DD so I don't get off road much

Do you know if the spring kit is the same as spacers? Obviously it's different in the way it lifts, but does it lift the same height? Like could I run your set up but with the spacer leveling kit?

At full stuff. No rubbing at full turn on the streets.

Same height spacer or springs.
