Default Wheel spacers

I like the look of a wider stance. My Jeep has no lift and running stock rubicon tires and rims. Do you think that the spacers will effect the stock ride or have the potential to effect any of the stabilty control features? Thanks.

You will feel no difference.

While I was waiting on my lift for almost a month, I cruised my Jeep with only a 3/4" Skyjacker spacers ($24 including shipping for pair on ebay) and Spidertrax wheel spacers. If my Jeep was my everyday driver I might even have left it like that as I really liked the look, but with big rocks on the brain more lift and bigger tires came calling.

I have had mine on for about 2 weeks now and if anything I think it feels more stable. I am running just stock 18's. I hated the way that the tires where so far underneath the wheel well. I put 1.5" spider traxs on and I love em. Here is a before and after.

Hope that helps

I have that exact setup and I love it including the way it looks. Perfect stance for sure. Be sure to buy extra red loc tite as I don't think the kits come with enough IMO.
