Ok.

I just lifted my 09 Rubicon (Used the Northridge OME lift) and my sway bar links are rubbing my 35" X 15.5" BFG Mud Terrains in the rear. I have Cragar soft 8 17" X 9" wheels but my backspacing is 5" and not enough to clear the links.

So.

I think I need to use spacers to get the backspacing I need, but the Cragar Soft 8's are lug centric so I am thinking I also need hub rings as well (god I NEVER thought I would know this much about a Jeep...).

Can I put wheel spacers and hub rings on at the same time?

 

Sounds like you have mounted them wrong. Let me try to find a pic. Bolt the bottom on the other side of the tab......

 

Move your swaybar links to inside the mounts.

 

Yea I tried but unfortunately the bolt threads extend through the mount by as much as the bolt head so I need almost the same clearance either way I install them....

Could I add a nut to the bolt to act as a spacer before I put the bolt through the mount? That would shorten the amount of bolt coming through the hole and maybe give me enough clearance...

 

Cut the bolt.....
