Teraflex Leveling Kit: Wheel spacers needed?
I recently purchased a Teraflex leveling kit.

The description says "you may need wheel spacers for proper clearance"
Does anyone know if you do need wheel spacers to run this kit with stock Rubicon wheels and tires?
I'm planning on putting the leveling kit on my 2011 JKUR with stock wheels / tires.
I'd rather find out that I need wheel spacewrs before I have the kit installed but I don't what to buy spacers if they're not required.

Be prepared... TF updated the kit a while back. Instructions don't say it, but the newer parts require you to drill out the sway bar end holes, at least on a Rubicon. I had to get TF to send me one of the few remaining parts of the older swaybar links since I was not willing to drill out my sway bar where future changes would not fit also. I got half way through installing mine before finding out about drilling the hole out and had to go back to stock until I got in touch with TF.

I was in the same boat as you and ended up buying Spidertrax 1.5" wheel spacers with my TF leveling kit. Once the Jeep was lifted it looked awkward with the wheels tucked under the body so close to the frame. The spacers drastically improved the look of my Jeep and I won't have to worry about clearance issues when I upgrade tire size.

Have you had any issues with the new Altitude edition? I am going to be leveling out a '12 Altitude for a friend and need to make sure that it will be the same as my '11 sport as far as the installation goes.
