    hey guys I'm looking into spacers because I'm using my stock at wheels and after lifting it looks to narrow for me. How big should I go and should I do the back a different size I'm goin to be getting spidertrax I have heard they are the best. Thanks

    Spidertrax are as good as any, but no better than some others. And with Spidertrax, you're somewhat limited in sizes. They start @ 1.25". I've got Bora spacers. You can get them in 3/4" and 1", in addition to thickers sizes. I have the 1" and I've VERY happy with them. Been on the truck for close to 30,000 miles now with ZERO complaints.

    This is an earlier photo. Truck is lifted more now. 1" will bring a stock wheel just barely outside of the fender well.

    No. They do NOT stick through the 1" spacers. As it turned out, I could have used 3/4" without grinding the lug studs. They would have stuck through less than 1/8th inch, but there is a relief cut in the back side of the wheel (in between lug holes) that would negate that issue. I know 3 different people who use 3/4" and didn't have to grind the studs.
