finally ordered some minor upgrades DS spacer and 255/75/17

[WhiteRubi]

I ran across a good deal and started digging. I decided to bite the bullet.
Ordered 255/75/17 BFG mud terrains and the Daystar 2.5/1.5 for $672 on Amazon.
Couple of questions regarding this,
Will I need an alignment after the spacers? I know I would with any other lift just not sure about spacers.

Do you think I'll need to do the BMC for these skinny tires on the stock 17" 5 spoke wheels?

I plan to upgrade the lift and wheels as money permits but this is a start to get me out of the station wagon stance.

If you have pics of this tire/lift combo is love to see it.

you can fit that tire size stock if the front fender liner is moved up some. i installed mine(255/70/18) when stock and the ride home was fine without doing anything. you will want to move the fender liner up right after install or you will make a hole in it from touching the tire all the time

and yes you need an alignment after the lift install

I have this exact set up currently.

Yes you need an alignment and with stock UCA's you will lose some caster causing a slightly light or twitchy feel in the steering under acceleration. You will quickly get used to it and not notice.

You do not need a BMC. You do however need to remove the front mudflaps.
