Default stock wheels on 2" lift will it work?

I need some help it looks as if I didn't do enough research. I was told today that I need different wheels or spacers to run my EMO lift?

I hope that some one can answer this question. I looked at alot of different threads on here and thought I was confident. Now this shop said something about the JK's hitting on the inside of the wheel after its been lifted track bars.

please help and thank you.

You will be fine with your stock wheels and tires with the lift.....

Where you are going to have some issues if you got wider tires....12" or wider you will need spacers for your stock wheels or you will have some rubbing lock to lock with your steering!

If you purchase a rim between 4.25 to 5" BS you won't need spacers to run a 33x12.50 wide tire with your 2" lift!

to run my EMO lift
An 'emo'tional lift? Hmm...

What size tires? And which components come with the lift? Is it the basic 4 coils/4 shocks lift, or a more complete kit. Some kits have trouble with the rear links, and as TrippleJ said, wider than stock tires is where you'll have the most issues.

The stock tires are narrow enough. You won't need 'em.
