Default Question about wheel spacer with RC 3.25 lift

Ordered the RC 3.25 lift and will be installing it tomorrow!
I'm planning on getting new 4.75 backspacing wheels several months down the road...do I still need wheel spacers for running stock wheels for the RC 3.25 kit?

Is it possible to leave out the new rear sway bar links and use the stock rear links until I get the new wheels?

Just install the links and keep the spacers on until you buy wheels.

If I install the new rear sway bar link, how much is it going to rub the stock wheels without wheel spacers?

You only need spacers if you plan on running wider tires, as they will rub on sharp turns. If your going to keep running your factory rubber and get tires and wheels together down the road then you'll be fine.
