[QUOTE="Clayton Off Road, post: 434558, member: 18098"] Just like [USER=18221]@BLACKJKU[/USER] stated if you plan on running your factory wheels and tires you won't need any spacers, but if you plan on upgrading to bigger wider wheels such as a 12.5 or 13.5" wide tire then you will need some sort of wheel spacer in order to run the factory wheels or get a new set of wheels with a backspacing of 4.5 to 4.75". A common misconception is that lift kits create the need for additional backspacing or wheel spacers but it really just comes down to the fact that most people lifting their vehicle want wider tires as well, which is where the problem of the tires rubbing on control arms comes from!
