    Hello was wondering if someone could recommend a good spacer block for the 6 lug configuration.. ?

    All I am finding is Ebay ones, not sure if I trust them.

    TBH, there is no good spacer block, it's a hunk of metal and I could make it as good in my garage with a CNC machine than any eBay or aftermarket place could make it. Please don't follow down the path I took and ruin your driving experience, save for 5100's and some nice coils and call it a day. Spacers are not worth it.

    Sounds expensive...
    Could you send me a link on what you recommend? I just bought some 285/70/R17 BF Ko2s and they are rubbing like a Mofo when I turn even with the mud flaps off on the fender flares.

    It may seem "expensive" now but after a while, 5100's will seem like nothing compared to EL Kings with remote resi's and adjusters. We're not even diving into LT talk yet...

    I believe he is talking about wheel spacers, correct? @curtissp or are you wanting a rear end lifting block?

    Anyone seen my wallet?
    Wheel spacers will make rubbing on flaps/fenders worse, lift spacer may help marginally, will still rub. Time to trim.

    Cut your fenders until your tires don't rub anymore. It's not that much cutting and the weight savings will show down the road.

    I'm running 285/75/16s with no rubbing even at full lock. They slightly touch the UCAs sometimes but very very minimal.

    If you're talking about wheels spacers then the general consensus of what I've seen on this forum is either Bora or Spidertrax.

    Oh please, it's blinding my eyes lol I would never spend that much on shocks alone for a MT build. Kings and Fox are LT worthy, 5100's, OME's are MT worthy. Are those SPC UCA's?

    Yeah they are. I needed them since I got the extended travel front and rear shocks.

    Having a mod day on the 29th. I've heard good things about the Fox 2.0 w/ RR. I was originally going to do a full OME kit but didn't want to have to upgrade in the near future.
