Wheel Spacers... again!

[Kelan]

I went wider in the rear can’t stand the stock setup front tires being wider stance than rear also makes the truck more stable on hwy.

NOOB question - besides hwy stability, are there performance benefits for wheel spacers, or purely for appearances?

^^^ It’s mostly an appearance mod...

Appearance but I do notice the additional width when I off road helps keep out of others ruts can use some other lines.

I just got a shipping notification for mine, so they should be here tomorrow I believe. How well do spacers hold up off-roading? I don't really have anywhere to do serious venturing but if I do I want to make sure they'll hold up.

Are you getting two shipments? I have two shipments coming from them, one to be delivered tomorrow, and one Saturday.

Decided to go with 1” (front) and 1.25” (rear), but I can’t find the 1” anywhere. Bora is a 3 week wait, Coyote- No, Titan- No, Venum- out of stock, Spidertrax- No, Supreme Suspensions- No. Anyone know where I can get quality 1” spacers... that’s in stock? If not, then I’ll just order the Bora. Thx

Did you ever gt your spacers installed? I was thinking of the same combo 1 from and 1.25 rear and was wondering how it looked?

^^^ The spacers are suppose to be delivered next week. I’ll post pics after I installed them...

I'll post pictures as well. I went a little wider than he did, 1.25 and 1.5. that should give you a good idea of what works for you.

Strange. I'm thinking maybe they split the two sizes into two shipments but I'm not really sure.

@popcenator @STR..Thank you guys!

They did ship mine in two different shipments. I got the first package yesterday and there were only two spacers in there. I should get the other two today.

... still Tuesday for me.

Both sets have arrived! I'm at least going to wait until my next the rotation to throw them on. I'm debating on have waiting until after I level. I don't know how good it'll look with them on before the level.

Yay! They finally arrived. Very nice work! I’ll get them installed tomorrow or Wednesday, and will post pics...

 

[popcenator]

I'll have mine in probably within the next week. I'm talking with my shop about swapping to Bilsteins all around and throwing those on at the same time. I'm looking forward to seeing what yours will look like.

I installed the Bora spacers today- 1” front/1.25” rear. It took about an hour, which included rotating the tires... and properly inflating them (55 PSI front/45 PSI Rear- Rebel specs). Torque them down to OEM specs- 130 ft.lbs... Bora lugs = 19mm/OEM lugs = 22mm.

I typically buy aftermarket wheels and tires when getting a new truck, but this was the first OEM set-up that I actually liked, except I thought that the tires were a little small in proportion to the truck. As mentioned earlier, I wanted a wider appearance, but still wanted the tire tread inside the fender flares. This easy mod gives them a little beefier look while still being flush (almost) with the fender flares.

Note: As the front wheel base is a 1/2” wider than the rear, going with 1/4” wider spacer in the rear will give you the exact same width as the front, which proved to be accurate when measuring after the install.

Issues: only one... At full lock the tires slightly rubbed the Mopar splash guards. I started to removed them, but then decided to just use a heat gun to remold them a little, which worked.

I have additional pics if someone wants any other angles. Let me know...

Damn, that almost makes me think I should have gone with the same size spacers as you. Not that .25" will make that much of a difference but that looks about perfect.

^^^ Thx. Yeah, I don’t think 1/4” will make that much of a difference. I think that you’ll be pleased
