Depends on where you live. In PA only sidewalks can stick out. But right next o me in Ohio I regularly see Jeeps with their tires completely exposed.

Those are the ones I have. They work great, you just have to take special care with them. You MUST use a torque wrench when you put them on, and you need to take your wheels off every couple months and re-check the torque on the nuts.

Iv been reading around and can't find anywhere except a few states/city's where you can't have less than 2" spacers and be fine.. It just says "for offroad use only" on the web sites so they don't get sued when some no brain person gets 3" spacers and never retightens them and they fall off going 20 around a corner!

by replacing the multifunction switch. It's a non-servicable part
