Default Spacers and TF BB lift

Do you have to use wheel spacers after installing this lift? I am getting new rims and tires soon but wanted to install the lift this week.

Thanks

Here's the TF install instructions with the answer to your question.

http://www.teraflex.biz/?wpv_file_id...a147f2cac7f974

To quote the instructions:

"Note: With our longer shocks or shock
extensions the factory left rear tire may
rub on the sway bar at full droop. The
tire will not rub at normal ride height.
To take full advantage of the
Budget Boost suspension travel,
wheel spacers or after market
wheels are required."

No you don't have to. You will be fine. Eventually you will want to get spacers.
