Question 2.5" teraflex and stock 255/75/17's

Can anyone show me what this would look like. I want to get the lift, but might have to wait on rims and tires a few months. Just wanted to see what she would look like

It looks awesome. Have you had any tire rubbing issues?

I just noticed you have spacers. Was that cause you needed them?

Thanks! I have spidertrax spacers on it too. So no rubbing issues. Before I got my tera, I was worried about how it would look with the stock tires too. But I m happy with it, Jeep shouldve built them like this to begin with. Now I cant wait for the stock tires to wear out so I can get 35's

i will be sticking with 285/70/17's (33's) because I do 99% of my driving on the freeway. I just wasnt sure if I would need spacers to run the stock tires with the teraflex bb

I couldve gotten away with installing the rear sway bar links on the inside of the brackets and not had any issues. But I like the wider stance the spacers give you. My wife also wanted me to keep the stock wheels, so I figured I would need them anyway when I went to a 35. But since then I have talked her into after market wheels now I just need to wear out those darn 32's

I think the 08's need spacers though to avoid rubbing. They change something with the rear sway bar. At least that's what Ive been reading here.

doojer your jeep looks great. Mine is an X unlimited jeep green. I heard a rumor that stock 255/75/17's might rub with the teraflex bb. Is this true. Did you need spacers?
