I have a 2" Synergy lift and 17x8.5" wheels with a 4.75" backspacing and 315/70r17's(35x12.50's)on a sport. They did not rub with the stock swaybar but do rub on the front of my air cylinder on my swayloc swaybar.What offset is everyone aiming for with this 2" lift? So many threads on the forum push 4.5" backspacing, and even some manufacturers have it on their websites. The table from Synergy seems to imply closer to stock is better (see below). AEV made JL specific rims with higher backspacing (~5.7). Which is "better", 4.5-4.75" or 5.25-5.75"?
The goal is to run 37s (likely KM3s or STT Pros) with untrimmed rubicon fenders. I am wanting to minimize the bump stop spacing and keep as much up travel as possible without rubbing.
Thanks!

Swa is rubbed off from the swayloc sticker from tire contact at steering full lock. Everything tucks fine with sport flares and the inner fenders removed. I have Artec inner fenders and 2" of bump stop in the front.
With the extra width you have from the rubicon axles you should be able to get away with running closer to stock backspacing with a 12.50 width tire but if you go 13.50 or more consider a wheel with less backspacing
