    Things to do while lifting

    I'm hopefully going to be installing my RC 2" soon, and I'm just wondering if there are any other miss I should do while tires are off, and I'm in the shop. Besides the pinch weld which I plan on doing already

    I did wheel spacers, and sprayed the liners with black spray paint because they were a little faded.

    For 2" of lift, theres not too much to worry about, although the pinch weld is always a good mod to do, especially if you plan on bigger tires. PS: Hope all is well with the matrix setup.

    Well, I'm looking at buying a set of the bfg s off a Rubicon. 255/75/17. I think the Rubicon rims would require a spacer, BUT if I mount those tires on the stock commander rims, with 2" lift, will they work, or will I still "need" spacers? (I'm planning on spacers at some point anyway for looks and stability, but I'm just wondering if I can get by)

    Technically that tire size has a chance of fitting without spacers. But its so close to hitting the bolt it's not worth the risk. That tire size is 10.04" wide but all tires vary in how close they are to stated size. If your getting the spacers anyway I would wait until you have them.

    That's a I'm stuck and have no choice option IMHO. I got away with 10.45" wide tires and had little issues. All you have to do is have the shop mount one tire and see if it fits. That way your not out much money. Keep in mind if it does clear the bolt no matter by how little your good. Once the tire is mounted the relationship between the tire and the bolt never changes. So if it clears by a hair your good it will never touch.

    Would 1.25" spacers be enough for everything to be kosher? I'll have a 2" RC lift, 1.25" spacers and 255/75/17 bfg mud terrain...
