    What are the recommended wheel spacers to purchase for a 2002 prerunner dbl cab? Is 2" preferred or just 1.5" or so? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been looking around I just haven't found all the information I need before I buy. Thanks again.

    For what purpose? Looks? To clear the UCA? So the tires don't rub the frame?

    A lot of it has to do with what tire size you're running, backspacing, etc.

    It'd be just for looks. I currently have 265 70r16 tires on it now.

    Only halfway decent pics I have but it's 265/70/16's on stock wheels running 1.5" spacers up front, no spacers in back.

    I think they are Trail-Gear. Never had a problem with them. I'm not 100% sure though because I just asked the offroad shop to throw some on while they were working on the truck haha.
