Planning on getting 33in and a lift for my 2015 Sahara but I was wondering if I could run the 33's before installing the lift? Also wondering how it looks.
33's without a Lift

I had 33 Duratracs on a 2012 JK with Rockstar II rims. Before I installed a leveling kit, when you turned the wheel to a full lock, the tires would rub on the front plastic guard. Annoying but not tragic.
With the kit, that problem went away. Without a lift, a simple trimming of the plastic is all that was needed. I assume you are running stock rims.

Nice, this may be the way to go before putting the lift in

Not bad enough that I will be doing anything about it. I may move the steering stops out a little but haven't got around to it yet. I have had the tires on for a year and a half now.

You'll need spacers, or new rims if you want to make U-turns. Also, you'll have terrible articulation offroad. I think it looks kinda cool though.
I got mine last night!

Hi Adam, do you have a front shot of your JK, I wanted to see what 1.5'' spacers look like. I'm planning on getting spacers soon. Any recommended brands?I'm on 33s, no lift- but I am running 1.5" spacers. I also removed the front air dam, but for purely aesthetic reasons. It wasn't rubbing with the spacers.

I got tired of plastidipping by stock rims, so those are 33s with a 4.5" backspaced wheel. Same effect as 1.75" spacers

Am I wrong or won't it be just better to adjust the steering bump stops to prevent the rubbing on the front wheels.
I added a washer (about an 1/8" thick) on both sides and that took care of my issue on the TJ.
The HR comes with a 32+ inch tire so that was my plan when I replace the OME tires.

Thanks. I was worried that I would want Sarge Green, but after seeing the photos, I am really glad that I snagged a Tank.
