You are gonna put 3" spacers on top of your 6.5" lift?? You will definitely have to adjust your arms. I would reconsider if that is your plan. That is a whole lot of lift...

I run with guys on 5-6 1/2" of lift on 35's who dont rub. Does your Jeep have bump stops? I also agree that a lift over 6 1/2" is a whole lotta lift. Bump stop it correctly and I bet you'll be a happy camper.
