Just purchased them 20 minutes ago. I’m no help to you but let me know how you make out.. before and after pics please
Go big or go home! In the end you should really decide what tires you want to run.
Not running anything crazy at the moment, I have the pro comp steelies with 1.25 inch spacers with 255/75 17 bfg mud terrains and it’s rubbing pretty bad when I reverse and turn. So I might end up putting it at the highest setting
Not always going to make a difference. Where is it rubbing? I have mine set at 2.5 front with a 1.5 rear spacer. Needed to pull the mud guards and make a small trim to the bottom of the front bumper.
285s set at 2.5
Yeah I pulled the mud flaps off and it helped a lot. Just mostly rubbing now on the frame next to the body mounts but not much, just enough to be annoying
Bigger is always better unless it’s your cell mate
I noticed it after I got the rims and spacers. With stock rims it was fine but I just need to do a little trimming and it’ll be good
It’s the spacers. Gotta do some trimming but it def worth it, looks way better.
I’m running 255/75/17 without spacers and have no rubbing.
I originally planned to do 1.75″ but went to 2.5″ on the install day. No regrets. Good luck!
I went 1.75 but it’s my wife’s car w 2 kids. If it was mine, I would go 2.5
1.75
1.75. I have gone up and over some big ass rocks and haven’t hit anything. My sliders and plates haven’t been touched. It’s taken me places I thought I couldn’t go on a dirt bike, let alone a 7 passenger vehicle. Another reason i didn’t go 2.5 is tire cost, wear and tear and uca. Some people say you don’t need uca but then some do. I’m on the rubicon take offs almost brand new and they are $50 a tire.
Trying to decide between 1.75 and 2.5. Isn’t the front end super stiff at 2.5 though?
No way, it’s much better than stock @2.5
And still haven’t had time to do them yet, work has been busy this week but hopefully tonight I can
Does 2.5 put the front higher the rear?
