Do u think that will be to much ? Cuz I heard that if I went with 3.75 BS plus my 2" spacers it would be to much

I don't know a whole lot about wheel spacing and what would be too much. I would think if your getting new wheels, you might as well get more backspacing and ditch the wheel spacers.

I have wheels with 3.75 BS and 10.5in widce tires and they stick out about an inch or do from the stock flares.

I gotcha, cuz id like to go out a few inches past the stock fenders. If anyone has any pics with about 2" BS or anything super wide I'd appreciate it. But it has to be on a 8" wide wheel

russell1998, look back a few pages and I think you'll find the info you want. Don't go with a 4" backspacing + a 2" spacer. If you want a wider look, get wider wheels/tires like a 15x10 rims with some 12.5 wide tires

Iron rock offroad makes a really nice adjustable track bar that will work and as for the swaybar just get a drop bracket or quick discos for a 3 inch lift. Jks makes awesome discos that would work for a 3"

Just remove the rear swaybar. You won't notice the difference. Im a 7.5" and don't even know it's gone. As far as the track bar I would just her a new one id if was me.
