06 rubicon tire clearance ?

hey guys i just bought a 2 inch skyjacker budget boost with hydro shocks for my 2006 jeep rubicon, i want to put 295-75-16 (33s) on my stock rims. Am I going rub? Do I need a one inch body lift for extra clearance, do i need wheel spacers? or am I all set with just the budget boost? Can anyone help? Please!

Thanks

I would say no less than 3" total lift . I would do the 1-1.25" BL and also a JKS 1" budget MML . If you have tire rub it will be when you turn the front wheels to far . a couple washers added to your steering stops fixes that

Thanks for the advise on the body lift but the washers doesent sound like the best idea I don't want to mess with that if rather just lift it higher

go as high as you want the control arms will still be the rubbing issue not the height , Its the Back spacing of the wheels in most cases. The washers are how we all adjust our steering stops which will stop your trad from encountering the control arms . Its not some kind of half as@ed way of fixing things . Maybe also try using the search and see what others have done .
