    I have a Daystar lift waiting to be installed (local offroad shop couldn't get me in for a month). I also have some 1" spacers I ordered from eBay. I plan on installing the 225/65/r17 BFGs as well. I'm a little impatient, and I'd like to do tires if possible before the lift. Would I have any problem installing the KO2s before the lift kit? Should I install the spacers before the lift, or after?

    I can't speak from experience as mine is stock, but I guess the only way to find out is to try it and see what happens.

    They fit w/o the lift, not sure about the spacers w/o lift. Just throw the spacers on after the lift is done.

    I installed renegade ready spacers week before tires and fits good. If you already have spacers I would throw those on then get the tires. I don't have a lift and not planning on it. [​IMG]

    Is that the small or large Rhino Rack XTray? Have any more picture of it?

    So no issues without the lift? Just spacers is all you needed?

    Perfect, thanks for the pics! I was wondering just the other day if the large XTray would work on a Renegade and how it would look with the low profile crossbars. Do you have the MySky option and if so, does the power sunroof still open and close ok?

    None at all. Feels great driving around daily. I haven't taken it out on any rugged terrain yet so we'll see how it does then.

    I do have the my sky roof. I'm still in the trial and error stage to get the roof to be able to open with this rack. It opens without the rack and just the cross bars but the brackets for this rack are so bulky it won't allow the roof to open. I have ordered some other brackets that are a lower profile so hopefully that will work out...btw sorry for thread jacking @pepsiaddict

    I did notice in some photos that the brackets hung down pretty low. That was my main concern. Please let me know if you find a solution for this to make the sunroof work. If not, i may have to order taller crossbars, Thanks!

    Nina, Im a little confused by your pic. Which tires are the new ones because the more aggressive set is to my liking (see photo)?

    The picture you attached is of the new tires, the ko2s.
