    Bilsteins on front and rear, OME 885 coils, Wheeler's AAL with overload left in, LR UCA's, Stock TRD 17" wheels, 255/75-17 BFG KM tires, VIPMOTOZ headlights, Lifetime LED headlight bulbs, 6000K LED Fog bulbs, Jumper's Interior and license plate LED's, Husky Classic floor mats, OEM bed mat, Leer100R truck shell with carpeted platform, de-badged, white derped grill emblem.
    After lots of research and plenty of help from the great people of TW, I THINK I've put together everything I need for my new setup. Please take a look and help me confirm that I've made the correct order.

    A Couple of notes: I wanted the tallest tire that I could fit with this lift without any serious rubbing or trimming required. I was trying to avoid a heavy 10-Ply tire which is why I ultimately decided to go with this one rather than the 255/80-17 Cooper ST-Maxx or BFG. I like the diameter and weight of the 6 ply tire I chose. I feel like I got a great deal on them by buying (2) at a time and using the $100 off order each time.Discount Tire Deal - BFG KM1.jpgBFG KM2 Specs 255.75.17.jpg Wheeler's Order For New DCSB.jpg

    On the lift, one of the questions I have is, will I need the wheel spacers? I want to save that money if I dont have to have them to avoid rubbing.

    Any and all input/advice/questions are welcome! My wallet hurts!

    Are they those the OEM tires for Jeep Rubicon's?

    With your parts order, it looks like the Spidertrax are more for appearance.

    Why did you choose Bilstien shocks over OME shocks with OME coils?

    Sorry, I dont know anything about the Jeep Tires. I chose Bilsteins because I'm familiar with them...had them on my last truck. Cost was also a significant factor.

    Are floor mats a mod?
    My $0.02 on the spacers, as I had been thinking on them for a while....
    More bearing wear.
    More chance of breakage if you really bash off-road.
    But the deciding factor for me was that I decided to keep my wheels tucked in to fit the super narrow trails in the PNW. I have seen wide jeeps and others struggle for a line when I have been able to just scurry up the narrow tracks.
    For what it's worth. $0.02.
    Doesn't look as cool tho......

    Cool, I honestly dont know a lot about this stuff. I've read as much as I could in a short period of time and looked at other guys' setups that I liked a lot. I ran into several people who told me that I would have to have the spacers to avoid rubbing the UCAs and stuff like that. I'm personally not a big fan of the wide stance or tires outside of the fenders. So, If I can get away with not using them, I'll save that couple hundred bucks!

    Running those same tires in that size currently on stock FJ wheels which have 3/4" less backspacing that Tacoma wheels. Had zero rubbing with no lift and mudflaps removed. Currently have front lifted 1" for mild leveling and love the tires and setup. You shouldn't need the spidertrax spacers but I do think it will look better with them.

    You shouldn't need the spacers. I have the exact same tires. Didn't rub at all when I first put them on, but I also put on new front suspension so I had to get it aligned. After that, there was some rubbing on that mudflap in front of the tires. I took them off and the rubbing stopped. No other rubbing besides that and I was able to pick up a little on my camber (no aftermarket UCA's yet).
    BTW, I got 5 of those same tires from a buddy that bought a new Jeep Willys. He upgraded to 37's. I traded a G43 that I paid 375 for! Steal!

    Nice job finding a large relatively light tire. Too bad they are KMs and not KM2s though.

    The Jeep Rubicons run the bfg km2s stock. On the TJ models they ran the MTRs.
