would you trust these wheel spacers?
« on: November 12, 2012, 04:12:04 PM »
would you trust them? i just installed a lift and bigger tired on my truck but i and alot of others can notice the rear track being narrower than the front. so i found these to hold me over until i bought a new set of wheels at tax time. i do some moderate offroading. i will only be installing 2 on the rear. so any opinons would be appreciated.

They are CNC machined, and not some cheap cast piece, but if you plan to get new rims, why not just wait.
All these trucks have this so it isn't a big deal.  It was setup to help steering maneuverability...

If you want them to be the same you can swap in a 88-up C/K 4x4 axle, they are wider...

I ran 2" spacers with 35"s and never had an issue.

i could wait but i was hoping to do a temp fix cause every time i look at my truck from the back i can just tell. just me being able to see the difference bothers me so to speak. i would like to be able to keep my factory rally wheels so if these are safe i would just wait on buying new wheels.

I run 2.5" spacers on the back of my K20 Burb. I've run 36" Military take-offs, 35" BFG, and currently have 33" BFGs  on it, no problems so far. Mine are also CNC aluminum.
There are two tools needed, duct tape and WD40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD 40.
