Gained another couple inches of lift just from tires! It finally feels like a Jeep and rides so much better than the stock 225/55/18 Goodyears. I will definitely be doing the pinch seam mod. Slight rubbing at full lock. Also put on some 1.5'' wheel spacers
Sometimes, as in my case, reducing the size of the spacer will get rid of the "slight" rubbing.
I went from a 1.5 inch to a 1 inch spacer in the front and got rid of my rubbing issue.

What kind of kit, mods, and wheel spacing did you need to fit that tire size?
springs and struts with 1in wheel spacers
Just to clarify a little:

4 inch lift (2.5 lift (AVID) and 2 inch springs (ATP)
Pinch weld mod
1 inch spacers in the front, 1.5 inch in the rear.

Although, I believe that the 245/65R17 BFG's will fit with just a 2 inch lift, 1 inch spacers and the pinch weld modification.

Do you really think so? That was the size I'm aiming for. I already plan on doing a 2in. Lift. And the pinch mod doesn't look like a big deal. Is there a particular reason why the spacers are necessary? From what I found it looks like to avoid the spring caps because they are kinda low. Thoughts?

Any chance you are able to see the product code on your fronts? Usually around the middle of the coil. I recently ordered a set and am wondering if I received the same set or the one other variation set. 03 vs 01 @ the end of the code.

Anyone else have eibach and know the front spring product code/did it actually provide lift?

The setup looks awesome!

Everything went pretty smooth. I'm most excited about being able to change the oil with out jacking it up! I wasn't expecting 2"s of lift from 1'' struts and 2''springs but o'well. Tires will be here Monday 245/60/18 Falken Wildpeaks. ATP Roof Rack on the way aswell. Just got back from the alignment shop and boy was that fun. It took 3 shops till i found one that could do it. Apparently the rack needs to be fairly new for it to be able to communicate with the computer. Will update once tires are installed.

If you wanna get great running stuff stay away from rough country 2” lift and falken wild peak tires. The RC lift is noisy as crap and the brand new fallen so got only lasted 12.5k miles and we’re completely bald
