Teraflex leveling kit and tire size question
My apologies but my iPhone is the only access I have to the Internet right now.
Just installed the Teraflex 1.5" leveling kit (the budget one).
I've got a 2010 JK 4-door with the stock 16" steel wheels.
Can I run 33's on this setup with the stock 16" rims?
Thanks!

TF's info on this kit...
Yes, you can run 33's on the stock rims, but you may have clearance issues up front and on the new rear links. Get spacers if you rub...
This leveling kit adds 2" to the front and 1" to the rear effectively leveling the 2 or 4 door's factory rake stance. The kit comes with front sway bar links. You can run a 33-34" tall tire with this kit. If you prefer to run the factory wheels as shown on the red Unlimited, you may need wheel spacers for proper clearance.

33's clear easily...No issues at all...But if you happen to rub the sway bar at full lock just add a few washers to your steering stops..No need for wheel spacers.

Might I suggest a BFG M/T km 255/85R16?
Ran them on my old Montero Sport and measured a true 33". The MS weighed 5,100 lbs. Not much more than an unlimited.
The skinnier tire will help it stuff easier.
I had about 50% tread left when we sold it and the tires had 25k on them. If I had rotated them properly, they would have gone 60 or 70k miles easy.
