Well I finally decided to do what I should have done a year ago. I bought the lift and I decided to stick with my 245 tires due to this being my everyday driver. I was going to ask, how much more articulation will I get with quick disconnects? Thank you guys.

The lift should be coming in Monday. I have a pic of some stock flex I am going to be putting up soon. My brother has a buddy working on his Sami that might possibly install the kit for me Tues or Wed for near free.

Its not going to look right on stock tires. In person it looks very awkward, like something is missing.

I hear you about it being a daily driver and all... I commute 25 miles round trip everyday, all highway. I only noticed 2mpg loss tops on the highway, which to me is not worth worrying about.

Here is my Jeep on stock rubber (pre Moabs):



After with 265/70/17's:






Not the best pictures, but you get the idea :D

@Antsjeep Did you need the spacers to avoid rubbing with 265/70s and the Rough Country BB?
I'm doing the BB as well and getting 265/70 Cooper Discoverers... and I'm hoping I can go without wheel spacers so its not more $.. could i just trim the bolt? or is that a bad idea? how much more will the spacers run me?
BTW, this is my everyday vehicle.. 80 miles a day highway m-f. casual driving/woods on weekends.

I never tried them on my jeep without wheel spacers. I had wheel spacers long before i installed my lift and larger tires. Just going by looks, that bolt would be too close for comfort for me. Plus i like the look of a wider stance and having the tires flush with the fender wells. My brother recently got spacers for his '06 and they cost him $125 shipped.

I would NOT trim that bolt. You need that portion intact when doing your lift. Other will say no you don't, but i honestly don't see how it could be done if that piece was cut off.

Indeed they are. I also dont think spidertrax makes 1.25" for an 08WK.. ive seen 1" and 1.5"... the 1.5" is gonna be too wide and the 1" ive heard of problems arising.. I also havent seen 1.25" wheel spacers for an 08 WK..anyone recommend some comapnies/brands? Also, the shop aapprently didnt even think I needed spacers..(they havent put the lift on yet at this point) but that still seems impossible to me.. :confused: they are a really good custom shop so i dont see how they would even say that, but they said they would look into it and hopefully have it all good to go by Friday. We'll see what happens.. hopefully i have my Jeep back all ready to go and not at a price double of what my expectations were.
