Have anyone towed with the 2 inch spacers on? Figuring it would be safe but don't want to risk it and rather to be safe then sorry.

Tried to have my 295's installed and they were rubbing on my ball joints.

I know I’m asking for it... but what’s the reality of 1.5” spacers causing serious wear on the bearings and what not. I don’t want to undermine the truck’s design for a minor visual improvement and I see some folks jump in to talk about how bad spacers are but there’s no shortage of guys running them. Are they really that bad? Seems like folks either love them or hate them which usually means misinformation somewhere along the line.

I went with 1.5" Bora's on all four corners. Very happy with the results. This is the off road package suspension + 2" ReadyLift Level front & 1" spacer rear. Tires are 295/70R18 (34.3")

Looks perfect, are you running the 4 ply version of the G2's or the LT's? Whats your fuel economy like, I seriously considered doing the 295 70 18 4 ply G2s or 305 55 20 4 ply G2s. Ended up staying conservative with 275 60 20.

I’m not quite sure. I went with the lighter option. Mileage isn’t great. I only have 1k miles on the truck so far and it’s mostly city. So not a big sample set.

Would a .25" spacer work for 295?

I am running a 3/8" BORA spacer to make a little extra room for 295/65 on stock 20's. Plenty of lug left and and added plenty of UCA clearance, although I cleared those tires without the spacer maybe from my lift. I'm having new wheels put on tomorrow and may no longer need the spacer. I'll put them on the forum for sale if I decide to not run them anymore. But i'm glad I didn't go with 1/4", because it just wouldn't have been enough spacer to make the cost worth it.

I put 1/4" spacers. I have 22x10 wheels with +25 offset and 305/45 all season tires.

I don’t see why not but they are cheap enough to buy and try.
