Is there any way to run stock Rubi Rims on a 2.5 TF coil lift....

I have heard that the rear sway rubs....
Is there a diff sway that a person could purchase that doesnt rub?
Maybe a different length sway connectt or stack connect, pushing the sway bar down lower, but would this then restrict my flex?

I have an chance to snag an extra set of Rubi rims on the cheap,that I can swap out for different wheeling....
I would be great if I could keep the stock rims saving some $


I have heard good and bad about wheel spacers... does anyone know?
Some say its a bandaid some say no problem....
Any help would be great.

I have the 1.5 inch wheel spacers on the stock wheels and love them. I can see no downside to them at all and I really like the wider stance too.

I have the 1.5 spidertrax with that lift setup....I have had no issues to date...and I love the look of the Moabs...

I ran the 2.5 coil lift w/ spacers on rubi rims for probably 40k miles and it worked fine. Only down side for running spacers is most national chains will not touch them. I was happy when I got my XD rims so I don't have that problem anymore.

If I remember right, its not the links, but the bolts from the sway links that are a danger to puncture your tires.

Some after market sway bar links will rub on tire due to lenght and backspacing of stock rim . Put stock front on rear and they will run just inside rim with no rubbing.

I had to wait about 2 weeks until my wheels and tires came in and I ran the stock rear links with my 2.5 and it was fine....its not exactly the angle you want your sway bar at, but for the 2 weeks I did it it was good to go.

Im sure somebody will tell me how dangerous and wrong that is....but just talking from my personal experience.

I asked them if 4.75 was ok and they said id be fine.
I know its not stock rims but if someone else reading in wondering

Sorry now I am more confused....

I beleive the kit comes with rear sway links....and you move the rear to the front.
If I leave the rear links as is I would then have to leave the fronts as is, correct?
This would solve my rubbing issues, but then would this not put a angle on my sway arm?

What would happen if it left it with the stock sway arm links?
Less flex?
Or would this cause undue wear and tear on the sway arm and cause a safety concern?

I am trying to do this on the cheap?

Thanks for the help....this forum is great!
