    Great looking mod. I plan on doing the same thing since I am not changing my wheels out once I get a lift.

    basically what the spacers did (for my tires only of course) is push the tread that touches the ground out to the edges of the mudflaps. The MT aggressive sides got pushed out further, giving it that wider/tougher stance/look....IMHO

    I actually like it very much and am glad I ended up installing vs not

    Hey John, how have you been? Still running your SpiderTrax? I had forgotten how mean they look.

    Very nice looking with those spacers and tires.

    I put SpiderTrax on my front tires last week and I'm doing the rears this morning. I, too, love the improved look and planted feel I get from having the spacers on.

    i have had these for a about 2 years no problems at all. they make the truck look fantastic however they do throw a lot of mud on the side of the truck. my tires are wider then yours and they really throw the mud on the body.

    Do you have mudflaps?

    I took mine off to trim and have not yet put them back on. I was undecided on whether I wanted them back on or not. I like the look without them, but they certainly will serve their purpose even more so now that I've got my tires pushed out a little further. I can tell already that the side of my truck is getting dirtier than before the spacers.

    I really like the look. My front Bilsteins and Duratracs go on next weekend. I think that I might just put these on also. That look is awsome with the wider stance.

    Sorry friends. It's been a while since I was on forum. Still enjoying the truck and yes spiders still on. No issues at all and I love the truck. No pics yet of latest modes, but have installed LEER canopy and will be installing Avid Offroad Step Rails and PIAA lights behind Grillcraft.

    Hey there John, really like the look of the truck with the spidertrax. I am actually considering these currently, as I installed a Readylift 3" front/1" rear lift on previously installed 265 70r17 Mickey Thompson MTZs (stock rims). But have realized that the sidewall traction on the inside of the tire rubs against the lower control arm during full lock steer. I believe that the spidertrax will solve this problem. Any advice? Did you install the spidertrax on stock wheels? Still a supporter after many miles? Thanks man, much appreciated.

    I just installed my spidertrax last night and love them. I hated the way it looked with the fender sticking out further than my tires, but the spacers fixed it right up.
