Spidertrax

Lol I guess their website will become part of my morning coffee ritual then! Thanks for the info!

 

lol no problem

 

I just hand tightened mine with a regular ratchet. just have someone press the brakes for you when you are tightening them so they wont move. Ive driven 1k+ miles already and my wheels haven't fallen off yet.

 

hey guys i am about to put these bad boys on i have the red lock tight liquid does that go on every lug nut or just one also do i put it on the lugs that hold my wheel to the spacer or do i put it on the ones that hold the spacer to the truck the directions with my spidertrax dont really explain well wanna be certain

 

the spacer to the truck should get the loctite. i didnt put loctite on mine.

 

I put em on all the lugs

 

so you put the lock tight on every stud and lug that locked the spacer to the truck???? i just wanna make sure that if i decide to take these off one day my truck studs arent ruined by the lock tight on em

 

thats my only concern

 

someone said it on the first page. just the lugs that hold the spacer to the truck

 

Yes that is correct. the spacer to the wheel should get the loctite. If your worried about damaging your threads ust use a little bit of loctite.

 

This is prob a stupid question but should you buy 4 instead of 2 so the fronts stick out even with the rears? Or is the diff. hardly noticeable?

 

i dont think it really matters
i mean i have seen guys with spindles and there front wheels stick way far out from the truck compared to the back

 

The loctite isn't permanent. It goes on the lugs that hold the spacer to the hub. I've taken mine off before with no problems.

 

Red Loctite is more perminate. It's like 230ft/lbs breaking strength. Easily doable with a breaker bar. I bought one and bought a spare socket for my kit under the backseats. The one that comes with the jack sucks balls.

 

I don't remember it being that high of breaking strength. Yes, I was using an 18" breaker bar but I don't think I used much more pressure than a regular lug. My Spidertrax did not come with Loctite brand. It was an off brand. When I put them back on, I just used blue (removable) loctite.

You're right. Everybody should have a breaker bar with a socket (22mm?) in the truck.

 

I believe it's a 22mm. I found a 29/32" that works for 50 cents. Essentially a 23mm.

And sorry, it's 200ft/in

 

Are the studs on the spidertrax longer than the stock studs. The stock studs are not very long and dont give you full engagement of the lug nuts. After market rims have a thicker flange where the rims bolt to the rotor.

I am considering buying spidertrax if the studs are longer and will fully engage the lug nuts with aftermarket rims.

Has anyone observed that the stock studs are short+ are the spidertrax studs long enough . They need to be 1/4 to 1/2 inch longer.

 

NEW QUESTION: if i decide to put new after market wheels on my truck with my hubcentric spidertrax is it ok to put nonhubcentric wheels? or is this a bad idea?

 

i dont see why not. The as long as the spacer is hubcentric youll be fine. Just make sure the wheels will fit.
