JL wheels on LJ

[jmo214]

so I've been seeing a few tjs/LJs on JL wheels on the interweb lately and bought a set. I used G2 aluminum spacers to fit the wheels. so far I can feel the steering being stressed less and the jeep itself feels lighter. So far i enjoy the look and the steering feel but the dangers will always be in the back of my mind so I won't drive it over 50. Anyways, here's a look at my lj

its not that I feel unsafe driving it, I just wouldn't feel comfortable driving it at higher speeds because its just another moving part to transfer energy to that I wouldn't want to risk a malfunction.

Properly installed should be absolutely no issue. Those parts should not be ‘moving parts.’

Only a few weeks but I ran spacers for years on my last TJ.

For what it's worth, my buddy has had JL wheels w/spacers on his LJ for over a year now.

No issues at all
