Default Teraflex 2.5 coils & 35 mtr/k anybody?

Have the tf coil & shock kit waiting to be put on my 2010 unlim rubi but I'm torn between 35 mtr/k's & bfg km2's like the mtr/k's but not sure if the will fit or not. Anybody running this setup without any coil spacers just the lift?also have an aev bumper and w9500ti will this affect fittment? Thanks in advance JW

I am running the Tera 2.5 with KM'2s and have no issues. Have a winch and heavy bumper. I did trim my fenders to be safe and I like how it looks

The MTR-K is larger than the KM2 in every dimension, so you may want to step down to a 34" tire with the MTR-K. With the 35" KM2 on the 2.5" Teraflex kit you would still get some rubbing, so I am sure it would be worse with the MTR.

3/4" spacers should do the trick

x2 I am running the 1" spacer with that bumper and winch, and I am 100% level, so if I put anything in the back I am nose high.

just get the 1'' teraflex spacers in front. You will be happy. And you will get no rub with the 2.5bb even without the spacers. I just added a stubby and winch. My front only droped a 1/4''. I mainly added the spacers to get rid of rake. Check out my gallery if you want to see pic's.

I run 2" OME coils that I added to the TF 2.5" BB kit and run 35" MT/R Kevlars with no issues rubbing at all. I have wheeled on most green and blue trails at Rausch Creek with no issues. I originally thought I would need 1" spacers on top of the coils, but I have not so far. My goal was to keep my COG as low as possible with the smallest lift to fit 35's and I think the 2 or 2.5" coil lift is perfect.

BTW, I have not needed to trim fenders or the rear pinch weld to fit the 35's.
