I know. I just got my JK last week and have the mod itch. I really want a budget boost and full traction has a great price. I just want to know how good a quality, ride and if there are any rubbing issues with stock rims and 255/75/17's.

I haven't read about anyone having rubbing problems with this kit, but that doesn't mean someone hasn't. The FT 2" ride quality should not change much, from stock, because you are only adding spacers and the springs & shocks are the same.
I think it was the Teraflex 2.5 kit that some people were having rubbing issues with, but I think Tera fixed that too.

The factory optional tires for the X are 255/75 17s, same as the stock Rubicon tires.. you shouldn't have any rubbing issue even with stock suspension and no lift.

I allready have the stock 255/75/17's. I now want to add the 2" full traction economy spacer lift. I just dont want to have any rubbing issues liken some other 2008 lifts.

I see.. Not sure, I wouldn't think it would shift things enough to make any difference, but I'm not sure.. But if you are not having problems with the tire now and are not planning to put on bigger ones, why do you want a lift?

I am planning on going to 285/70/70's in the future. That is why I wouild like the lift. I dont think it looks horrible with the stock 17's either for now.
