I am looking to lift my stock 2nd gen in the near future and am only looking to go up about 1.5in. I want to use BJ spacers but have heard that you need to use a different back space in the rims so the upper control arm wont rub on the tire, is this true? And if it makes a difference I only plan on running 33x10.5 tires
Thanks

 

You should be ok with the 10.50's.
You do know that you can fit the 33 x 10.50's on your vehicle as
it sits stock height with no lift at all don't you ?

If you do the bj spacers you'll have to lift the rear, get longer shocks and should address the rear axle shift when you lift it.
If you want just a little lift then get a 1" ~ 2" bl.
The ones that poo poo the bl's simply have no idea of the advantages of a bl over a mild suspension lift.

I really just want the BJ spacers so I can relax the torsion bars.
Thanks for the info

 

You should be able to get away with runing stock rims and the 33x10.50" tires. You might have to grind the small lip off of the UCA but thats not a big deal..

 

Do you and them cranked up now ?

It is typically the 31x10.50 tires that have a clearance issue on stock wheels:

Comes down to where the bulge of the sidewall is with respect to the end of the UCA.

And as noted if you run into a clearance issue, you can trim back the outer lip of the UCA or add a 1/4" wheel spacer.

 

awesome thanks for all the info! I guess I'll try it and then just look for rubbing
