Tf 2.5 bb
I'm looking at the teraflex 2.5 BB with adapters. I want to keep my stock wheels and tires till i wear them out. On the teraflex website for the BB, it says,
"This kit will allow you to run up to a 35" tire (aftermarket wheels with 4.5" backspacing or less are required.) Fits all JK Wranglers including Rubicon and Unlimited."
Question is, can i run my stock wheels and tires with this kit or do i have to put wheels spacers to fit.

I think that the spacers were recomended because the rear sway bar end links were very close to the wheel, and under flex if was possible to have the end link rub the wheen / tire even with stock tires.
I think that's right, too, but mine were not even what I would call close. I did change the mount location from the outsides of the brackets to the insides, like the instructions said.
That was then this is now. They include a track bar relocation bracket with the kit ( recenters your rear axle) for the rear track bar. When I bought the kit they didn't include the bracket so we would buy the wheel spacers to avoid the rub on the back left tire. It would rub so bad it would slide the wheel spacer around the rim and knock it outta balance. I was told by TF that it wouldn't be an issue if I bought and installed the relocation bracket. I went with the spacers instead.

I ran the TF BB for one day, WITH the track bar relocation bracket, with the stock Rubi wheels, no spacers. The swaybar links were so close to the wheel inside edge that any bump would cause them to contact the wheel edge. I got spacers then, and did not drive it until I put them on. The same result could be achieved by flipping the swaybar links to the inside of the brackets as stated above, but I chose spacers 'cause I wanted my wheels and tires further out. It looks better that way IMO.
BTW, with the trackbar relocation bracket, stock wheels and no spacers, the swaybar links would contact on both sides, so the axle was centered.

You are very funny, there aren't many places here to go wheel'n I wish there were. As for the lights they are meant for guys with wise cracks that I help them see the light. Like yourself.
