Default Yay or Nay? Spacers on 4 door no lift...

At the shop about to put some spacers on my 4 door. No lift, but with Nitto Trail Grapples 295 70 17. What do you say?

Shouldn't be a problem unless you get into some serious articulation.

Some shops will not touch the jeep once it has spacers (Discount Tire) it was like the Jeep had the plauge until I took them off.

I also did not like the spacers. If you hit any mud, it would fling the mud all over the jeep becouse the tires were just a little bit outside the flairs.

Having spacers helps keep fenders off the rocks. If I could I would go with 2.25" just to get a little more, but I know it would not be good on the axles, so I wont

So my vote is YAY

X2 I have them with my 2.5" TF lift and no big name tire shop will touch them, and if they pull it off and see them you're screwed cause they will not put the tire back on or let you do it!!
