    I know a lot of guys are running 1.25 or 1.50 wheel spacers but i was wondering if anyone out there has 2" spacers with stock rims and tires. I have a 3" lift kit for a slight lift but want to make the stance a bit wider.

    I do not think this is a good idea.

    Yes this again!! I see the group is here. :D

    Two inches is way too much for what you are doing. 1.5" look fine.

    With that said. I'm going to use 2" on mine in the rear. Maybe. But would rather stick with 1.5" max.

    I just pulled my 1 1/4 spacers off today after 4 months and ordered new wheels. The wider stance with the spacers isn't worth the hassle it caused.

    I ran 2 inch spacers all around on my ranger for years. beat the shit out of that truck every weekend never had any studs break. blew a few wheel bearings here and there but never ran into any major issues. probably would be better off just getting wheels with a -12 or -20 offset but if your set on running spacers it can be done

    Balance and vibration issues which led to numerous shop visits for balancing etc. Not to mention dealer issues (they frown on aftermarket stuff like lifts especially under warranty). I had more play in the steering wheel going over bumps and ruts. Kind of like a rolling steering wheel. I do think that I had one spacer that was faulty and caused vehicle vibration. I took them all off and voila, problem solved.

    Why stop at 2 inches?
