Spacers

I feel like 1.5' spacers on the rear are a pretty safe bet regardless of if they are from Fred or ebay..
There are some cheap aluminum ones on eBay the ones I bought are atleast billet aluminum. I've also seen a few spacers blown apart and it was installer error every single time.
Another thing worth mentioning I'm running a modest 20x8.5 wheel not some faggoty ass 24x14 super wides with a -72 offset with a stupid stretched tire. My wheels are like +40 haha
Of the spacers blown apart out there the wheels are probably to blame based on their size, offset and width. Plus that's assuming they install the spacers correctly and cut off the factory stud tips.

I'm running spacers on mine at over 1000 horsepower. And ran at 600hp for a year. I made my on though. They were hub centric and made from 6061 T6
So he went on a camping trip, no trailer just a bed full of beer and tents and a four wheeler but he went to Jim's Creek in AK and the trails cause a lot of flex and roll as you go down them and then on his way home he got a near instant death wobble and a few seconds later the tire and wheel fell off. He had a four inch lift and I think loosing a 35" tire is what cost him body work

IIRC he got spacers because he didn't have a big enough offset to clear the knuckle, common issue.

Ya I'm same I don't think mine have an offset and they're on good old 35x12.50s lol

I should say I will be running Spacers lol. But ya I just rarely have time for my own wrenching let alone fabricating.

I just did pads and there are dimples on my rims so looks like no grinding for me.

No the factory stud tips stick out almost half an inch with 1.5" spacers on you need to cut the tips off
You might not have to cut them still. I DID NOT have to with my wheels. You may or may not. Just have to see when you get the spacers installed.
It depends on what wheels you have. Mine did not require cutting. (Novakanes)
