Spidertrax Spacers

That looks really good. I've been tempted to spring for a set of these while I'm running stock tires & wheels on my 3/2 lift. But it's hard for me to drop $200+ on a holdover until I get new shoes when I could put that $200 towards new shoes and get them sooner than later. Sorry to hijack, just thinking out loud. Your truck looks GREAT!

 

I hear you on the 200. But i bought used and in good shape from alexcavs7. He got new wheels with enough back spacing the he didnt need spacers anymore. There is a set of 1.5 spidertrax on portland craigslist for $75 right now.

Be Safe and thanks,

A lot of times the spidertrax website has 'blems' for sale at ~$80/pr which is just a slight color variation from the anodization.

I have them on both of my vehicles and love em!

 

Lookin good man, glad you like them! I vote keep the mud flaps off, makes it look bigger

 

Thanks buddy

Be Safe...

When you bolted the Spidertrax adapters to the hubs, did the wheel nuts thread all the way onto the wheel bolts? Mine didn't on OEM 17 aluminum wheels. The nuts exposed 2-3 threads. I ended up swapping the OEM studs for longer ones - they're 65mm; OEM is 41mm (bottom of head to end of bolt). The new bolts extended about 3/8ths of an inch outside the adapter. Luckily, the OEM aluminum wheels have deep enough depressions that the wheels slip on with no interference problems.

 

Any tips for installation? Did you jack up one corner at a time or do left, then right? Jack stands? Blue loctite holding up? Did you get extended studs or run into any problems having enough thread for the lugs? I ordered some today and they'll arrive by the weekend.

 

Simple bolt on application. Just make sure to use some loctite, blue or red. Red is a lot stronger, might have to heat up the studs down the road to break them loose if you ever want to remove the spacers, but blue does the job just fine, that's what I'm using.

The next time you rotate your tires I would just check them with a torque wrench to verify they are still locked down. Also make sure to use the torque specs recommended by spidertrax, it's something that shouldn't be overlooked.

Love mine.

 

Very nice stance there.

 

1 corner at a time. You will have plenty of room on the studs. I also used anti seize between the spacer and the hub. I heard stories of them seizing together and the only way to get it off was to bang and pry on it and cause damage to the hub. I checked mine after 50 miles and none of the lugs had loosened. Had them on for about a month now. Love them.

 

I've been running 1.25 spacers on all 4 for about 3 weeks now. Even had them off road. No issues. Only thing is I wouldn't lock tight anything. Just torque them and then check it in a couple days. Then retorque them when you rotate your tires should be all you need

Pic because I can


Also have 3" lift

 

No always loctite them. ALWAYS

Edit: Its simple nuts that go on, no locking nut, not locking washer, nothing. Vibrations when driving will make them loose and last thing you want is one coming off. ALWAYS RED LOCTITE THEM. Theres a reason it says so in the manual and they give you red loctite..

It isn't hard to remove them if needed, just use a big breaker bar. Harbor freight has them cheap

 

^ Yup x2x2x2x2x2

loctite for days!

 

Well by that logic your lugs would vibrate loose as well. I bought mine used so no instructions but I stand by my torque wrench. Checked it on the weekend while installing my coilovers nothing has moved and nothing is going to move

 

lug nuts have a lot more threads than normal nuts

 

Very nice! I like that wider look too! I currently have spidertraxx spacers too with my 16" trd off road rims which are 16x7's . I recently purchased the Trd trail teams which are 16x7.5's so with my spacers on I'm thinking it's gonna look like more like your stance since it'll push out .5 inches more.

 

How does one torque the front wheel spacers without someone there to put the brakes on?

I'm going to be installing alone tonight and engaging 4H and 4L only provides a tiny bit of resistance.

 

Put a crowbar or something across 2 of the lugs (opposite sides of the hub) and hold it while you torque with the other hand.

 

I just finished the left side of my truck. I went and got the neighbor's kid to sit in the truck for a couple minutes and press the brake.
