Default Will this work?

I'm thinking of going with the swamper LTB 34x10.5x17 and putting the on my stock rubi rims. I am going with a 2.5 bb and a more 1" kit. Having the narrower tire I shouldnt need spacers right?

It doensn't sound like you should need spacer. The 34x10.50 tire you are looking at shouldn't be to wide.... What is the exact year make and model of your Jeep? What tire and wheel came stock?

I do NOT have spacers for both of our Jeeps (RubyDoo and Little Red RubyJeep) and they work fine. Just have the rear sway bars disconnected and "zip tied" out of the way.
