New to Wrangler some basic questions

[blnewt]

I think what i will do, is when I visit my local 4x4 shop to help me with installing a new bumper, I will also ask them to check on the spacers to make sure they are good quality, and not the cheep ones.

Good plan, might even have them check your full suspension flex (w/ front swaybar disconnected) to see if the spacers are needed. If you plan to lift it in the future you could always remove them now (if there's no contact problems) and put them back on if you go up in the future (and still keep your stock wheels).

RE: Spacers - could also be that the previous owner wanted the tires to poke out from the fenders a little for a more planted stance, but didn't want to get new wheels.

Unfortunately I have to wait till spring now for some toys. Unheated garage. We hit 40 and with a heat gun I was able to add some bling.

I don’t think 28570r17 is stock for a Willy’s. Hard to tell from the picture if there are spacers or not. I don’t think spacers are necessary with 33s.

Actually my daughter got 33’s on her sport and needed spacers, but according to what I read before they are not needed, so who knows
