2.5 lift with stock rubicon rims

[Bobatwar]

I have a rubicon with 35x11.5x17 on stock rims. And want to find the a good quality 2.5 level kit or lift and not have to worry about the back spacing and rubbing issues. Lots of lifts need 4.5 backspacing. Wondering if anyone has a good lift with this setup with no issues.

You will be fine with most lifts. Rock Krawler requires more backspacing because their front lower control arms don’t have a tire clearance bend. Metalcloak requires more backspacing because their lower shock brackets move the mounting point outward.

ReadyLift SST 2.5" lift is what I have and I'm running my stock wheels and 315 70 17 BFG KO2S which are pretty much the same size as yours. I ran them without spacers and then added spacers about 2 months later because I want some more poke but it did great without the spacers as well. Here some pictures of it installed without the spacers and with the spacers and without lift and with the lift. For reference I have a Max Tow so I got the same wide track axles you have.
