Ok my setup is as follows: Evo leveling kit, spidertrax wheel spacers1.5, and soon chopped fenders... My question is I'm wanting to run 315 70 r18's .... Will I need to change my front driveline out? I'm gonna be putting gussets on my c's im just worried bout wheeling and having front driveline issues.. Any input is appreciated and pics with your Evo leveling kit and 35's even better thanks

Never heard of needing to change front driveshaft till you go to 37s. I believe you'll be fine. Lots of guys run 35s and EVO leveling kit so you should be able to get definitive answer from them.

I ran 35s on the EVO level with no driveline issues.. You'll be fine!

No need with just a leveling kit. If you were going with a taller lift; then it would be recommended to upgrade.

Might need spacers or offset rims depending on your current rims

Thanks for the quick replies everyone. I was just making sure I'd be safe with my driveline as the trails I've been running lately would be a bit easier and more fun with larger tires

As mentioned by others, your lift height is what will dictate whether you need to swap your driveline out. With a leveling kit, you will be perfectly fine with your stock driveline. Larger tires are always better lol!

Off subject question I just noticed grease seeping out of the boot of my drag link at the pitman arm... Can I just replace the ball joint or do I need a new drag link or do they sell the end link for it...?

I have a 2.5" lift and 35s with no issues. Been running this setup for about 12,000 miles. You won't have any problems.

I'm running 35x12.5 with 1.5in spacers, zero lift, chopped fenders and it's been great so far!

Heres a pic of the Evo leveling kit and 1.5 wheels spacers on 35s. Not the best pic but you can see that theres plenty of space for the tires.

Question for you on your setup. With the stock Rubi wheels and 1.5" spacers, would the tire stick out at all from the full width stock flares? I know your are trimmed, but curious if you know if a full width stock flare would cover them up. I'm only planning on trimming the downward portion of the flare, and keeping the full width, if that makes sense.

This is stock Rubi wheels/tires with spidertrax 1.5" spacers and factory fenders(uncut).

Here's another pic of a stock rubicon wheel on a 1.5 spacer. Right to the edge.

Awesome, thanks! I guess that answers my question then. Looks like the stock wheels with a 1.5 spacer and the 35s would stick out. Looks good with the stock wheel/tire combo though!
