I am on my phone, so I don't know how this link will work, but here's my buildup page. Let's you see before and after pics of the TF kit and tires

Beefy jeep SaFFFari for stock rims! I like it! Is that a shaved stock bumper or is that aftermarket?
Scrappy, Did you go with the spacers or the coils for the leveling kit? Do you notice a difference over stock?

I went with the spacers. Everybody I had talked to with the spacer kit couldn't tell the difference from stock ride, so I did that. I've had mine for two weeks and can't tell the difference from before I had them

I am thinking on keeping my stock 18's and thinking on a more aggressive tire. I am thinking on some duratacs, at 295/65/18's. From what I read, I would have to run 1.5 spacers, is this correct? But the main question I have is, how does it ride? Its there any shudder running spacers? And are there are issues with running that wide of a tire with the stock rim? Or should I just think on buying some new rims?

I'm running the exact setup you are describing. 295/65/18 with 1.5 spidertrax spacers and the TF Leveling kit. Rides just as good as stock setup. I did remove the air dam before installing tires to avoid any rubbing issues. I love this setup!
