That was clever

 

That many? Wow. I am so much better at this than Chad.

 

That's why everyone with the stock wheels uses wheel spacers.

 

I dont want to screw up my hub bearings.......

 

The effect on your wheel bearings will be no different than if you were to use a wheel with an offset that would clear the UCAs.

 

what about going offroad?

I mean wheel spacers would make my truck look alot better but I havent heard too many good things about them. Focusing on hub bearings while going offroad

 

X2 on that one! Just went out and measured it. Got 2" of gap!

 

Well if Danny and Chris say you can get about 1 1/2" of clearance... it must be true.


Lents is going to start saving for UCAs in 3............2............1.






I feel wealthier already($2)

 

I ordered the UCAs yesterday, I cannot wait to get them.

 

Well I agree with you on this. Personally, I would not run wheel spacers unless it was an absolute necessity. But look at it from this stand point.

Granted that you do not get a pair of TC or Camburg UCAs in order to allow for clearance of your tires, the only other option you have is to get a set of wheels with enough offset that your tire will not rub the UCAs. OR you could go with wheel spacers (a lot cheaper) and in principle, do exactly what your aftermarket wheels with proper offset would to clear your UCAs. So the effect on your wheel bearings will be the same.

Now obviously the way to go here would be new UCAs, but they are not cheap, and I'm not sure what your situation is, so only you can decide what is best for you.

On the other hand, wheel bearings are not cheap either, at about $115 bucks a piece.

 

Haha, save up brother!!!

 

Well I dont have any interest in Aftermarket wheels, because theres nothing wrong with the ones i got now...

I understand what your talking about. Im planning on changing out the Spindles, UCAs, Coils, etc. anyway

Ill get some wheel spacers if I hear more good things about them.

 

Yeah it was but don't be embarrassed. You ask good questions.

 

Thanks..

but some not so good

 

Guys... you don't buy UCA's to clear your tires. You buy them to correct your alignment.
You buy wheel spacers or new wheels with the correct offset to clear the UCA.
Or you buy smaller tires.

 

my alignment is perfect in the camber and toe. But its off in the caster, but it is an equal spec.

I just dont want my tire to rub down prematurely cause of them rubbing against my UCAs

 

Good. I think the reason why my caster is off is because the stockies werent designed to handle a.... basically a twice as big tire
