Keep your eyes on Craigslist. I found a set of five with 295x70x17 Toyo MT's locally on a classifieds site for $200. The tires don't have much tread left though. You can find great deals if you keep your eyes open. I don't know why the JK guys are always switching rims out. I would just run spacers, the JK wheels are clean and look great.

Yes, you can tell the difference, especially after any kind of lift from stock suspension. I recently went to ~2"+ lift and could really feel the roll. It took a while to get used to it. After adding the Addco, I've got much less roll and corning is much better. Keep in mind it won’t handle like a Porsche, because it’s not a Porsche, lol. I’d recommend getting the rear bar even with no lift. Hope that helps

Sway bars the finishing touches on your masterpiece? LOL, really though with all your mods I'd have thought you already did the sway bars.
