Question Skyjacker 4"

I'm just wonder who is running the Skyjacker 4" suspension? I've installed one on my JK 2dr and I was hoping to run the stock rims with GY MT/R's 305/70r17. I haven't installed the new tires yet.

So far, I have installed the lift and I have trouble with the rear swaylinks contacting the rear tires.

will anything else rub before I decide to go with new rims or with wheel spacers?

figured out the rear links, I mounted them out board instead of inboard on the sway bar.

they still look pretty close to the tire.

anyone?

SEARCH! You need spacers and bigger tires.

I did a search, it didn't work very well at all. I have the bigger tires. I would rather not run spacers.

I'm runnin spacers at 140 miles a day 4 days a week with no problems so don't be scared to run them!!! They are no different than an offset rim just make sure everything is torqued and retorqued properly. Trust me, I ran an automotive repair shop for 9 years and yes we did tires!! You will have no problems with a quality spacer!!!

Your welcome, and let me correct myself when I said "no clearance issues". There are none aside from the fact that in a servere turn, the tire scrubs that stupid plastic air dam/skid thing, which is a given if you look through these threads. I plan to trim it anyway before it hits the trail. No biggie.

When you get the spacers on you should be fine.
