    Let me see some pics of your 1st get taco with 2" wheel spacers only! I accidentally order 2" instead of 1.5" so I want to see if I'm going to keep them or not

    Good god, I didn't know anyone made them that big.

    Unless you're going for "stance" send them back...

    I'm definitely looking for a wider stance. Just don't want it to look like my tires are too far out. I have the black fender flares on my truck too so I think that will help make it not look so bad

    The other thing is you may end up rubbing your tires on your fenders when turning because they stick out so far.

    Other than that, I'm really just not a fan of spacers in general, so that's about all the super helpful advice you'll get form me, lol. I'd recommend proper backspacing on your wheels.

    Everything but the driveshaft. B03A - 410
    Due to wheel stud length differences, I was running 1.25" in the front and 1.50" in the rear. I took them off a couple of weeks ago. The wider stance helped handling on corners. However, it wasn't so cool driving on the interstate. Overall I'm happier without them. I had BORA on the front and SPIDERTRAK on the rear.
