    Hey y’all, wanted some input on wheel spacers. I’ve had wheel spacers installed for about 4 months now, and noticed nothing different other than a stiffer ride and slight vibrations at certain areas.

    I’m debating on whether or not I should keep them on or remove. Looks wise, it looks cool, but what would you guys do? I have 1.25” on right now.

    I have had my 1" spacers on for about 6mo now.

    I'm happy that with the 1.5" lift the 1" spacer evens it out and I don't hate the look with stock tires.

    I dislike that there is an extra layer that can fail or cause issues. Had quite a few weird feelings or vibrations I was worried were caused by the spacers. They never ended up being so but I dislike the stress.

    Only way around it is to run different wheels. If you can then do so

    Yeah, i’m running a 1.5” lift up front and a 1” block in the rear. I guess it’s more of a question of whether I’d want better ride quality or better looks- although the ride quality really isn’t bad, aside from the stiffer ride especially when turning at certain speeds. You have pics of your Taco?
