I agree. Bora is likely the only brand I’ll consider. My reading on the spacer materials is that aluminum is better for daily driver/low stress/high speeds where steel is better for high stress/lower speeds (think rock climbing).
Agreed. Just ordered some 2 inch Boras, I'll update you guys when they come in and I get to install them!

I recently went with the Coyote 2" spacers, after doing my due diligence and can't say enough good things about the staff and the product. Fitment was absolutely perfect and my Rebel has a great aggressive stance now. Installation was easy-peezy and would highly recommend any Canadian customers looking for a reasonably priced spacer with reasonable shipping to buy with confidence!

BORA 1.5" Spacers
Nitto Ridge Grappler 305/45/22 XL

Tyler204, can you confirm whether or not you were able to run these 1.5" spacers WITHOUT needing to cut down the factory studs? That is, does the Limited wheel have any pockets between the holes?

Looking great! I've got the same Laramie truck and color, so this ought to be like looking in a mirror! I've got same tire in a 305. Does your 285 rub? With my current stock setup, I only get a tiny rub in certain turn circumstances, but no actual scratches seen in the plastic.

WHEELS instead of spacers
2.5" track increase > OEM tires/Mopar flaps > 77.8 hub rings ;)

Man, I looked all over for a set of used spacers before placing my order... someone better snatch these up.

I went 2” front and back, still really happy with the stance over stock. This is a major change in aggressive appearance for the Ram, IMO, and the Bora spacers are an excellent product with no vibrations or other issues.

No doubt...the REBEL should've come with a wider stance from the get go!

Agreed...I waited 6 weeks to get mine..somebody better hop on that deal

I thought I would share what I did with wheel spacers. I originally bought and installed the Bora wheel spacers that were 1" in the front and 1.25" in the rear. I posted a pic in this forum. After living with it for a few weeks I decided to go with .75" front and moved the 1" spacers to the rear. I measured the wheel pockets on my 2020 rebel wheels and the calculations showed that I could go with .75" spacers without any grinding or cutting of my wheel studs and that proved to be true. I liked the look of the first set up but my plan is to go with 285/75 18 tires which will increase my poke by about .25" so I wanted to bring the wheel in that additional .25" so I can get the natural poke from the bigger tires.

I have attached a couple images of what it looks like with the stock rebel tires and the .75" and 1" rear.

hello , nhjake. I’m thinking about going with 1.5in spacers all around. Really liking the flush fitment on your set up tho. How come you used a wider spacer In the rear?. I’ve read a few people have also done the same, putting a slightly wider spacer in rear.

The front is slightly wider than the back.

The front is about .25" wider then the back so in order to get them both to look even you should stagger the spacer sizes.

Went out quick while at work and took a couple pics of my truck with the 1.5 Yitamotor spacers from Amazon. I can't speak to the 78.1 vs. 77.8, but I know that the 78.1's fit very snug, and everything is still tight after a week and about 200 miles. I was unfamiliar with spacers in general prior to adding these, and everything I can find seems to lean towards them being fairly same for everyday driving if aluminum, and that a large majority of issues come from improper installation and torquing.
Hope the pics can at the very least help some people decide if they want 1.5's, less or more.

I put 2 inch hubCentric spacers and have zero issues with my 2019 Laramie. I've had them on for 3000 miles already. At first i purchased the 1.5 inch spacers but that DID require me to trim the threads. I returned them and went for the 2 inch, and that required no trimming and it gave me the stance that I was looking for. I would recommend HubCentric, that way the spacer and tire will rest on the Hub and not on the lugs!! Here's a video of my Laramie with and without the wheel spacers. Hope this helps. Enjoy:

I havent read all the replys whos did you use?

I just installed the Coyote 2" spacers. The paper/instructions that came with them said to torque to 85-95 ft/lbs. However, I know our wheels are supposed to be 130 ft/lbs. I did 95 on the spacers and 130 on the wheels, but honestly, the instructions just said to torque the lugs to the 85-95, so maybe it meant all the lugs, but I took it as meaning the lugs that attach the spacers to the hub. Now that I think about it, it probably would have made more sense for me to do the opposite, and torque spacers to 130 and wheels to 85-95. Anyways, should I just go ahead and torque everything to 130?
