TF 2.5 BB w/ 1.5 SpdrTrx & Stock 32's ?
I have a few questions regarding a lift combo I would like to order before I need to buy new tires (33's in the future). I have been searching this site for photos of a JK 2 door with a TF 2.5 BB, 1.5 SpiderTrax spacers and stock 32" Rubi tires but have only found mostly pics of the flex versus stance on the street (I know I'll have plenty of clearance for flex), anyone have that combo with street pics to share? I am also wondering what people recommend with the 2.5" BB lift, do the shock extensions work fine or is it a weak point in the lift and I need to spend the extra money on the longer shocks?
Also, I noticed TF sells a 1.25" spacer made out of steel versus SpiderTrax 1.5" aluminum, has anybody had issues with the aluminum, I would rather do it since it saves weight at the wheel but want to make sure it is strong enough?
Thanks for all the great write-ups and discussions on this site!

i am in the same position right now! I think I am going to go for the shock extensions since the rubi shocks are already quite good.....and its cheaper for now.

First off, welcome to JK-Forum!!
Secondly, I did some searching and haven't found pics of a 2-door yet but found pics of JulietKilo's Unlimited with the setup you're talking about....TF 2.5" BB, Spdertrax Spacers, and stock 32's:

No experience with the wheel spacers myself, but I do have some TF shock extensions and have had NO problems at all so far...even sprayed em black so you can't even tell they're there, just looks like part of the shock.

Love the look with the 3 pics on this thread, going with the TF 2.5" with shock extensions and SpiderTrax since no one seems to have issues with the alum. versus steel with the TF spacers. 33's will be next when I need the tires. Thanks for all the pics and feedback!
