Use the money that you were going to use for the cai and throttle body spacer on a regear instead. It will be the best mod you ever did

I would suggest looking into new/ smaller wheels
I just went from the sahara wheels/ tires to aftermarket 17" and Trail Grapplers and it was the same price.
This also saved me from running wheel spacers.
Over all it was the same price to get new 17" wheels and tires instead of 18"s.
Plus, i should be able to sell the stock wheels for a few bucks.

Not sure what axles you're running, but you are talking about quite a bit of extra weight. Might want to consider c gussets and/or chromoly axles.

I've got a 2013 Sahara, so I've got the Dana 44 on the rear and Dana 30 on the front.

I'm pretty sold on keeping my Sahara wheels. But thanks for the input. Already got the 1.5" spidertrax wheel spacers.

Even if you're not doing heavy wheeling, I would minimally have a local shop weld on a pair of c gussets. Then when you get the time/money, start thinking of chromoly's. If you don't have an AEV Procal, I think they're worth their weight in gold. Someone may have covered all of this in an earlier post. If so, my bad. I'm a bit of a lazy ass when it comes to posts!
