    No difference between spacers and a 2 or 3 piece wheel on a $100k Porsche. Just a tool to get a job done, but there's not many options out there for a wider axle unless you want to sink major $. That is the theme of this thread though lol

    I couldn't agree more. I was originally going to build a 4x4 but the extra cost and not really needing it made me not do it. Now with recently moving to Prescott, I wish I had built a 4x4. I do have a Dana 60 front axle in my side yard though

    That was the best thing I did to my truck was add the 4x4 when I moved from SD to Denver. . It was fun having a prerunner in the snow when your by yourself in the steet. Once your next to someone and you start sliding closer to them the anxiety kicks in and just pray you don’t hit them. Trying to focus on getting the truck straight again. Just glad to have more control on the road when weather turns to shit is nice.
