    Can you buy wheel spacers to bring wheel out a little for a wider stance and more aggressive look

    The spidertraxx will bring you wheel out 1.25"
    Any problems using them
    I want to get that wider stance this might be the way to go

    Defiantly the cheapest way to go for a wider stance.

    Trail gear has some pretty good ones too! I got some for Christmas! Gonna put them on after my trip

    No problems going with spidertrax but note that spacers will put more stress on the wheel bearings and will cause them to wear out faster.

    They do that but no more than different wheels do. And OP, I have Spidertrax too. They look great!

    I bought them straight from their site. Pretty sure you might be able to get them somewhere else also. Mine set the stock sport wheel out 1.25"

    First month of ownership... This month I'm removing front air dam, and also Rhino lining the bed.
    Technically speaking wheel spacers (and the same for custom rims with less backspacing) multiply the amount of stress on the bearings and other components in your suspension, adding force as a lever. The angle in wheel bearings is designed to cancel or counteract this force in stock configurations, but if you move the center circumference of your tire away from stock, you add stress.

    So, plan on higher maintenance costs with having to replace the wheel bearings much sooner. And I'd recommend getting them inspected every 15k or so also since they can be a safety issue if/when they fail.
