First off I would like say that I am so glad this forum is here! I have been reading through a lot of threads on "Lift Kits" and found so much info and what kits are recommended or preferred. This really helps with trial & error as you don't want to sink money and then change something down the road.
I would like to eventually run 35" tires with a 3.5 to 4" lift but know that I would need to re-gear. I don't have that much money to spend right now and was thinking of (for now) adding a 2.5" buget boost and then later add a set of wheel & tires as I want to get some lift to my stock JK. In looking at the Teraflex 2.5" budget boost (as well as a few others) I noticed it said that in using the budget lift kit you would need to run wheel spacers if using stock rims as you would need 4.5" backspacing or less. In my state you can't use wheel spacers on the street.
Can anyone explain why you can't run stock rims?
Another question is do you still need to use a rear swaybar bracket if you purchase a rear adjustable trackbar?
Thank you in advance.
