SpiderTrax spacers installed

LonghornTaco · 11-17-2008, 06:35 PM

I ordered some 1.25" SpiderTrax spacers (on Silverback's recommendation). They came in and I got them installed tonight and they have resolved my rubbing issue on the UCAs. Of course, now I have to trim the inner fender just a bit...

I don't know what it is about me and getting bad nuts (insert joke here) but one out of the 24 nuts was bad. couldn't get it to tighten. I'll call SpiderTrax tomorrow to get them to send me another. I went to O'Reillys, but they didn't have one with the same thread pitch, and all the other parts stores were closed.

Anyway, here are some pics.

Looks great! Jason!

slo2sixty · 11-17-2008, 07:10 PM

not bad... They look too good to be covered up

Ghost96Romeo · 11-17-2008, 07:14 PM

Is Nice!!!!!!!!

Probably gonna be my next Christmas wish list item. I like my stock rims too much to want to change them.

Can you run 285's with this now, or will you still have rubbing at full lock?

I was running 285s before the spacers, but they were rubbing my UCAs. Now, there appears to be a little inner fender rubbing that I'll need to trim, but I don't think it's gonna be a lot... But, I'm not rubbing my UCAs anymore.

Ghost96Romeo · 11-17-2008, 07:19 PM

Well I know that I'll be adding 285's to the list too cause the 265's I'm running are just too.......hmm........dare i say..............stocklookingish!

Looks good Jason! Sucks about the "bad nut". Luckily I didn't have any trouble with mine. Did you use the red Loktite that came with it?

I had no idea what that was! Does it really matter? I got them all torqued down to 80 lbs...

yeah, it prevents the nuts from backing out on you. Especially since you can't see them coming loose as they are behind the wheel, I'd recommend it.

deadbolt · 11-17-2008, 07:35 PM

how much did these spacers run ya?

sonjay · 11-17-2008, 08:16 PM

you will only need a drop of loctite on each stud. Don't go overboard.

when i get new tires i think im going to get these too! gives it a more aggressive look imo.

LonghornTaco · 11-27-2008, 12:27 PM

Interesting benefit of spacers... Very little brake dust on the front wheels!

I just washed my truck and the front wheels looked a lot like the back wheels. Very easy to clean...
