I'm not sure after the shorter sway bar links but I have a 2.5 inch lift and without the spacers my 35's rubbed bad at full turn. The whole jeep would shake bc of it and now that I run spacers they've been driving amazing for the last year. Hope that helps somewhat

I would suggest you buy a set of Rough Country 1.5" spacers. They only cost $118 shipped to your door and you can run your lift with the 18" stock wheels.

Otherwise, you cannot run the stock wheels and lift. Shorter sway bar links will put your rear end in a bind and can cause major trouble.
