If you have the relocation bracket you should be good. If not, mikesjk has a good suggestion, just disconnect the rear sway bar links (bring zip-ties). If you do disconnect the rear sway bars just be extra careful on the highway, you Jeep will drive "different" for sure.

You will still rub your swaybar links. Theo nly way to stay away from rubbing is not bolt it up, wheel spacers, or aftermarket tires. You can run down the highway without your rear swaybar connected. It will sway around turns but won't be bad. Hope this helps you out.

Alright, thanks for all the info. Think ill make my wife take her car, too, so she can carry the dogs and bags in there, and I'll probably be able to fit the tires in the Jeep that way. Don't want to damage anything I just bought. I'll just bite the bullet and use some extra gas. Man, it'll be worth it because I'm PUMPED to get this installed!

Do you have a 2dr or 4dr? I have a 4dr and have fit 5-35x12.5x17 tires mounted to wheels with no problem. Just be careful when you make a turn that the weight of the tires doesn't shift and bend/break something.

Got my lift in today! I was pleasantly surprised to find that the teraflex shocks were flat black, from photos I thought they'd be gloss black. Don't know why I thought that, but I am happy! Should get my tires in on Friday! Yes, I have a four door. I am almost 100% sure I can get all 5 wheels/tires (already mounted) in the back while it is empty, but originally I had planned on my wife (and her luggage ) and didn't think it would fit.
