Default What set up are you running? (33's)

I am currently running 33's on my stock suspension JKU. The only issue I have noticed is a little rubbing on the sway bar in tight turns. I know I could probably just install some wheel spacers and move on, but I really want to add either a 2" or 2.5" lift kit for a little more clearance without causing too many warranty issues. I know most of you guys are running larger lifts/tires, but I thought I would see if anyone was running 33's on 2-2.5 lifts. If so, pictures and feedback on which kit and why would be awesome. Thanks guys.

How do spacer type lift perform off road? This is my first coil-sprung Jeep, so I haven't had this issue to deal with in the past. I only plan on doing light to moderate wheeling in the JK as it's my DD, but I also dont want it to perform like a mini-van off road...

I have 33x12.5 Duratracs on 15x10 wheels..

I have had zero rubbing on the stock suspension with no lift, the stock suspension with TF Leveling Kit which would be about an inch in the back and inch and a half up front and now on Rubi springs and shocks with one TF spacer up front which is just a snick over two inches of lift total.
