do spacers cause unnecasary wear and tear

gonna be putting a lift on and want to know if wheel spacer will do more harm then good??? i was thinking 1.25" nothing extreme thanks for the input

 

Yes they do

 

Are you doing a wheel spacer or a top plate spacer for the suspension?

 

hes asking about wheel spacers

 

From what i read wheel spacers, like the spidertrax ones- do not cause any more wear and tear than a slightly wider wheel/tire setup. Makes sense to me. People here say that anything you do to widen the stance of your truck, or lift it- is going to put slightly more stress on some other part more than what it would at stock. So yes.

 

Just make sure they are hub centric and that you use the proper torque specs when cranking em' down and go with Spidertrax and you will have no problems. You will not be hurting your ride any more than when people get rims with different back spacings. Seriously dont worry about it. what you should let us know is more on the WHY you want them, if you could please. is there a reason you thought you might need them or do you jsut want them. depending on the size and width of your tire you may not even need them.

 

well the main reason i wanted them is more cosmetic than anything because i am not going overboard with my truck considering it is a daily driver and drive close to 250 miles a week highway

 

you'll be fine then just make sure to do the things i mentioned in my post.
