Default Old Man Emu Lift JKU with Stock Rubicon Wheels and Tires no spacer?
Do you know if you can run stock Rubicon wheels and tires without a spacer using an Old Man Emu lift?

Thanks

Nick

Yes. I did for 7 months until I could afford larger tires, then bought 1.5" Spydertrax.

Spacer requirements are dependent upon tire size/width, not lift size. Dude, you're good. Post pics!

I have the rub rims, OME HD lift and the tires are 285/70/17 and I have virtually no rubbing. I only say virtually because when IO put the lift on I saw there was some rub marks on the sway bar but tbh I dont care, lol. Just dont lock the wheel all the way and problem is solved.
