Default Spacer Lift w/ 275 70 17
I'm planning on an AEV 2" spacer lift with ko2 275/70/17's. Anybody else have this setup with photos.

I have a sport unlimited w/ 3:73 gears.

I'm also considering same tire 285/70/17's

Any thoughts and photos would be appreciated.

As long as that tire isn't wider than 11" you are good.

If I had it to do over again, I would still go with the 2.5 vs. hockey pucks.

I ran 275/70-17 cooper at3's and they could be run on stock rubicon no problem. They were way too small for my 2.5" lift looked goofy.

Running the AEV 2" spacer lift with 285/70 R17 Duratracs. The only other mod I made was 2 washers on each steering stop. No rubbing, no issues. I haven't disconnected the sway bar yet though....

Jeep801, your rig looks very functional. I typically use my jeep for easy wheeling adventures, getting to the fishing hole and mountain bike tracks. Very nice, thanks.
