    thanks.


    Still monitoring temps. Long road trip Wednesday will give me a good idea if I need to go further into coolant maintenance.

    How have the wheel spacers worked out for you? Ever have any problems with vibrations, out of balance, wobble, or shearing?

    only ran the spacers for about a year. They caused no issues. I would recommend the spidertrax spacers to anyone.

    That recommendation only goes along with the right situation. You can't just throw spacers on any wheel/tire combo...

    I 100% hated the mtz's. They would not balance and were terrible on the highway. You will regret going from nitto to Mickey Thompson. I believe nitto and toyo tires are about the best out there.
