new 1.25" spacers = no more death wobble?

Don't look a spacers just cut your fenders and re locate your stock flairs up. I and many other people have dune this meany times. 33's on a 4.5" lift is normal with no rub lock to lock at full flex. Search it and see. Its a free mod that works!

This might sound kinda odd but when i had my 31x10.5's i would get a slight wobble going 50 mph.When I changed the tires for my 33x12.5's and got'm balanced, i eliminated my death wobble.Idk if it was the wider tires or the balance that helped it out but its gone.

Ya it is the same price but to stay in speck your rim should be no wider then 2"-3" wider then your rim. Other wise your tire gets that balloon look and will not be as tall as it should because of that.

Looks much better and since you wanted to keep your rims it worked out well. If you wanted axle clearance it would be different. But for now you are not a serious wheeler and not concerned with that. And that is fine you own a jeep and it is baby steps to get that in your blood.

welp, its been about a week now an no more wobbles, the moral of this story is to make sure you torque your tires correctly before driving, and make sure the guys at the tire shop arnt doing a halfa$$ job
