Searching has failed me, so I have to ask. I have a Sahara unlimited. Rock Krawler 3.5" lift. Installed 37/12.5/17 tires. Needed wheel spacers up front because of rubbing during turn. I did front and rear to make everything match.
Fast forward to today. I had a UD44 axle installed up front only, which is Rubicon width, and no longer need the wheel spacers. The rear spacers are still installed on the factory D44 non-Rubicon width but now the rear is about 2" wider than the front (total edge to edge tire).
I would like to remove the rear spacers if they are not needed, so my question is are they really needed on the rear? I only installed them to match the front but that's not the case anymore. Looks like the only potential problem spot would be the rear sway bar link but I'm new to spacers.
