Uneven Penetration

Hello all. I carefully and properly installed a set of 1.25” Spidertrax. Only then did I notice the rear wheels on my truck penetrate the fenders a full 1/2” differently. Anybody else seen this? Can it be adjusted simply by loosening U bolts and sliding axle over?

 

Come on...that's just false advertising

 

I too thought this thread was something entirely different.

 

Check your bed alignment before moving the axle.

There have been many, many reports of misaligned beds.

 

Align your bed.

 

No. You cant loosen the u bolts and slide the axle over.

 

Dishappointed.

Loosen bed bolts. Slide bed.

 

That was intentional as the wider stance on the passenger side offsets the weight of the driver during the more common one-person drives, increasing stability.

 

Total let down of a thread

 

Just sandwich a bunch of washers between the wheel and the wheel spacer to even it out. Tons of people do it.

 

Do not ever do this.

Oh, and 10/10 thread title

 

I dont see the issue? Just get grade 8 hardware. Is this not the right fix?

 

Guys, I had to get your attention or I wouldn’t have gotten any replies. I’m starting to see how this game works.

 

I toyed with the title “Uneven penetration of my chubby rubber”

 

What was posted earlier. Check the bed for square and alignment first

 

Ok looks like consensus is bed alignment... I’ll research the right way to do that. Thanks!!

 

The springs only sit one position, there's very small adjustments that can be made (but shouldnt)

I'd personally just leave it. Stuff is content with where it is, adjusting it may just be temporary till it settles back in the same place.

 

I need to do the same
