Pro Comp has 17 x 9 wheels with 4.75 backspacing. That is what I have with 35 x 12.5 x 17 tires.

I absolutely love the ride with the HD springs.

I will tell you, though, that when I'm loaded for a few days on the trail the front is a little too high (especially on the highway), so I got the airbags (WoL did a writeup on them) for the rear so I can level my jeep out when I'm fully packed, then lower it back down when I'm running empty/light. But I have a 2DR, YMMV if you have a 4DR.

Spacers for the wheels? I didn't need them.

I was refering to spacers for the front springs....its sagging already with only the weight of the bumper and going to add 82lb winch...I really want it to be level and yes I have the 4dr...does it just come with hd springs for the front?
