I also added 35x15x13.50 Toyos. Everything runs great. 6 gear isn't much use but other than that it is Awesome. Took it out and noticed I have a wheel rub on the front long arm when turning the wheels sharp. Was thinking about getting some 1.25" wheel spacers but wanted to see if there were any opinions out there. I was told it might wear the ball joings faster. 2006 Rubicon Unlimited, 5" Teraflex Longarm, S/T Swaybar, 35x15x13.50 Toyo MT Re: Wheel Spacers on TJ [Re: crumy] #789538 02/15/07 03:56 AM Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 826 Johnson City, TN icysyrup Rock Warrior Yes it may wear the ball joints more, but the question is will it be noticably sooner??? Doubtfull. Maybe a few 1000k sooner than you normally would have to replace them, but IMO nothing majorly noticable to stop you from running them to prevent tire rub.

It will reduce your turn radius some but wil prevent the tires from rubbing. Pretty sure someone here can tell you xactly where it is. I think it's on the knuckle/brake assembly. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> "Not all who wander are lost" 86 CJ7; 258,MC2100,30/300/44,2.5" susp. lift,31s Moderated by  4x4Wire  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts
