Default 05 tj unlimited, ride high adjustment??

hey everyone i was doing some work on my jeep an noticed that the stock size of tire (30 9.5 r15) will hit the sway bar at full turn, the previous owner was running smaller i suspect this is why, dose anyone know if the stock suspension is adjustable or if a 2'' coil spacer would fix my problem, on a tight budget so lifting the whole suspension with a kit is out of the question

Lifting the jeep will not stop the tire from hitting the sway bar as the bar will move down a bit with the lift. I'd suspect that the rim don't have the correct back spacing. You said you are running the stock size tire but don't mention if they are the stock rims. A simple fix would be to add wheel spacers. But make sure you get hub centric spacers.

Some of the jeeps have adjustable steering stops on the axle.
