You mean a 1/4in spacer?
I have never been a fan 2006 1500 QC TRX4 Offroad edition, factory tow package with 3.92's My mods are located on or in my truck,.. I have come to the conclusion they work better there than posted on here. Zeitgeist:Addendum  |

Nope I mean 1 inch or 1.25inches, Im lookin at the ones the bolt on to your lug studs and give you new studs to mount your wheel to.

I agree with Jason on not being a fan. For a street driven truck I wouldn't have them. I would have to have a trail only vehicle before I would even think about purchasing any and would still be questionable about it.

I understand where you are coming from, but my thinking is that if the hold up to a beating off road, then why wont they work good on the street. I just want to push my wheels out a lil bit,and I dont have the $$ do buy new wheels with a offset.

Point taken. A buddy of mine had 2" spacers on a '02 Silverado he had that cleared 35's with a 3" body lift. They were on the front only and I don't think he ever complained about them. Lee '04 2500 QC LB 4X4 |

There is a reason your vehicle comes with a set backspace for rims,.. People don't realize that when you move a rim out from the hub,.. it can put a tremendous amount of strain on the wheel bearing.
In some cases it can reduce the life of the wheel bearing by half,.. so do as you guys want,.. you are doing what called "short turn gain, long turn pain. What doesn't affect now,. can and might later on.

Newer Silverado's that are running big tires with needed spacers are burning front bearings talked to two guys with Silverado's about it, one just replaced his 07 and the other guy replaced his 06's bearings twice.

So its pretty much a risk of wearing out wheel bearings and tie rods and bushings and other things. Well Im sorry to say that Im probally goin to take the risk and run them for a while and if anything happens Ill fix it and take them off.

The same thing could be said for lift kits large oversize tires and rims, all put stresses on OEM spindels berings and other suspension parts. Ask some of those guys how fast they go through berings 2003 Silver Ram 2500 Moose SLT QC/LB 4x4 | 5Speed Manual trans | Tow pkg | Centerline dual friction clutch| 3.73 LS | Mopar/Borla dual catback |Bilstein Shocks| Billet Grill | 15% Win Tint | Bushwacker color matched flares| Pwr adjustable petals |Superchip 3714| Mopar wheel liners |Ramhammer intake| Mopar alum fuel door | MSD 8.5 wires |SS nerf bars | Chrome ext handles | Atm graphite tails |Silverstar bulbs| Hurst alum T handle shifter| B&D Shift kit| JVC 5 disc deck. |

I have a set of 2" wheel spacers on my truck right now to run my wheel/tire combo. I'm not a fan of them really, they kept loosening up until I double-nutted the spacers on and now they can't move. My tires put alot of stress on them and they are 2" spacers, you would probably have better luck with your setup, but like any mod, you gotta keep an eye on them.
