    I recently put the Billistien 5100's (set at 2.5) and the AAL in the back. I kept the stock wheel and put on AT 275-70-17.. Now I am thinking of putting on some wheel spacers to get a wider stance.
    I am looking to see if someone has a similar set up as me and has a picture of their truck with the spacers.?
    Is 1.25" wide enough...?
    Hub Centric--- What is this???? (from what I read, I need this in a spacer)
    What brands to buy or stay away from?
    Can I go more than 1.25"?
    Any other do's or Dont's will be much appreciated......

    1.25" hub centric spidertrax are probably your best bet. Hub cerntic centers the wheel, and the weight of the vehicle on the wheel hub. Lug centric as the name implies puts the weight on the lugs. Probably not good.

    There is tons of info on here about spacers. Run a search for wheel spacers and prepare for information and opinion overload. Im sure at some point someone will jump in and say dont do it cause its bad for your wheel bearings or something along those lines.

    Personally, I will be adding the above mentioned spidertrax in a few months.
