Where will it rub?
Yeah, the rear sway bars are close and the links basically fit in the rim. I guess when flexed the tires will hit where the top of the link attaches to the sway bar? (see above pictures)

TF 2.5 coil is a great package. In time it may settle, but not by much if any. Kind of muddy but the wheels do not go past the fenders. 275x75x18 Cooper STT w/Spiders

If memory serves, TF states minimum of 4.5 backspace so the wheels will not rub the suspension at articulation. I think the rear. With 35s the wheels could rub the inner flares at full drop. I too was leery of spacers at first, but if you install those Spiders correctly, I wouldn't be concerned. Ran this setup for 3.5 years and 80,000 or so miles. Not only will your rig feel more stable on turns, but you will get a very nice stance.

Thanks for the reassurance, sounds like the spacers definitely have to go on.
Your going to have an ear to ear grin when you see your stance with the lift and spacers. Remember to remove those lock washers on the studs of the rotors before placing the spacers. Those washers were placed just for manufacturing, and are no longer needed. Enjoy, and wave!

When your just replacing pads, no need to remove them. As for removal in the future, a big breaker will do the job. Drive a few miles, then take wheels off, double check torque MINUS a few pounds so you don't break the "glue" of the LocTite. Happy wheeling!

Thanks, yeah I wanted that size originally too, but they are so hard to get. They have to be ordered basically everywhere I went. I wanted something more readily available in case I needed to replace one.
