Yes, same would love to see the 1.5" spacer on a stock Rebel for comparison. The 2" looks almost perfect though but curious to see the difference. Also, @Ride2little do you have any issues with rocks kicking up and hitting the paint? I know when the wheels come out a bit that can be an issue sometimes.

I have 2” spacers on mine (absolutely love them!). I’ve had them on a short time so can’t say for rock chips yet, however, I do know from reading on here that mudflaps likely won’t fit. I have running boards on which seem to capture most wheel toss up. Here’s a pic of some mud splash up. I can’t say how 1.5” would change this, but it seems likely some rocks could kick past my running boards.

Is an alignment necessary when installing spacers?

Has anyone put wheel spacers(specifically hub centric bored) their 2019 RAM? I'm looking to widen the track but I'm not in the market to get new Wheels and Tires yet. I don't want them to extend out past the fender well but about an inch to an inch and a half. If you have, please tell me what size and and bolt length you got. Thanks
Thinking about purchasing these for my 2020 RAM Rebel with 3.5 inch RC Lift.
Anyone have any experience with these?

Titan is a good product but what size tires? They won’t let you return once installed?

I just installed a set of those yesterday. First spacers I've ever had on a vehicle so I don't have spacer experience to base anything on. That being said the machining looks excellent, they arrived in black billet, not silver, which I was happy about, and fit perfectly. I installed them with permatex anti seize lube between the spacers and the hubs and used red loctite on the original studs holding the spacers down and torqued everything. The only thing a little unsettling was when I tightened the wheels to the spacers it originally felt like the studs on the spacers had stripped out. It was just the studs in the spacers fully seating. Again, no experience with any spacers so maybe they all do that or maybe the expensive ones like bora have all fully seated studs to start with, but these seem really well made. It was just a couple studs on each spacer and not a lot, and no big deal once I realized what was happening. Anyway, all installed and no vibration at all.

On a side note, does anyone have any negative experience going to the dealer with spacers installed? I generally do my own maintenance such as tire rotations and oil changes, but should I be looking at removing the spacers for any warranty visits that don't involve vibration, bearing or suspension issues? I've already got the readylift 2" with the uca's and they didn't seem to care at all about that.

Just had my Titan 1.5” wheel spacers installed. I had called Titan and looked on their website. They specifically stated to torque the wheel spacers to 110ft lbs and use blue Lock Tight. I had a local brake shop put them on and watched to make sure they Torqued them correctly. They went on perfectly with no issues. Used my Stock wheels and tires. The spacers were black as well.

Does extending the wheels out past the fenders cause any issues with paint damage, due to rocks?
Mine stick out about 1/2inch and yes it throws rocks up scratching the paint. I put ram specific mud flaps all the around and it protects the paint.

I have driven my Rebel now for several miles With the 1.5” spacers. I immediately noticed it’s a little more stable and cornered better with less lean in in the turns.
