So I'm about to put on some Wheel spacers on my '08 Sahara but am not exactly sure what size to get. Is 1" enough or should I go with the 2.5" Spidertrax? I just put on 33" Silent Armors which are amazing. I want to apply subtle changes, nothing over the top. Any information and pictures are much appreciated.

The other thing I want to do is eliminate the front rake and am leaning towards the RoughCountry 1.75" Suspension lift. Good/Bad?

You mean 1.5 SpiderTrax?? Might as wheel get a set of SpiderTraxs...Give Northridge4x4 a call. And they have guys on here running 33's all stock. So little spacers should do the trick to get that rack out of the front! Check out "show your 33's" thread....got LOTS of pictures!

 

But... if you really really want to impress us, get the 2.5" spacers and wheels with 3.5" of back spacing and post some pics. Nah, really... don't do that. But, hey, if anyone is doing that, please please please post some pics.

 

if you put wheel spacers on, do you have to cut the original lugs back so that they don't protrude into the back of the rim? or are they just bolt on?

 

How wide are your tires? If they are only 11.5" wide then don't bother unless you like the look of the wider stance. You will only rub on a tight turn but you can fix that by adding a couple of washers to the wheel stop bolts. You lose a bit of turning radius but its not bad IMO. Otherwise the 1.5" spidertax are said to be very good.

You can get Rubicon Express 3/4" Front Coil Spacers for 07-08 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK for $34.99 for your rake.

 

Definitely go with spidertrax and a tf 2.5 bb. It looks great with the stock set up, 33" tires and will give you the option to go with 35" tires in the future.

No, you do not need to trim the bolts. Very safe and secure product.
I used spidertrax on my 07 JK, 08 commander and my 08 JK.
