    2.5" Skyjacker, 33X10.50. I do get some rub at the rear lower corners, and I run 1.5" wheel spacers.

    I have the Black Diamond 3" lift on my A1 and currently running 33 10.5 BFG KM2's. But no rubbing. I have Eaton 15x8 wheels with the 3 3/4" bs. I switched from 35 12.5 with 3 1/2" bs on 15x10 Eatons, and they rubbed both front fenders, the springs, and the rear of the rear wheel wells.
