It looks goofy...the front looks awesome, but the back sux....with a lot of torque back there just not sure?? Guess I'll just try and find out myself...lol
i run 2" spacers on the rear also...own a contruction buisness and no problems yet it tows everyday
not sure if i wanna do spacers on mine after i get my 6inch lift and 35's in the spring. could we see some pictures of trucks with them on???
I run 2" spacers on rear with 35's. Go get yourself a set from Fred @ Wheel Adapter. IMO, his are top notch and probably one of the best in the country. www.wheeladapter.com
I run 1.5" adapters that I bought of ebay for about $100. They are billet aluminum. And I was VERY hesitant to run something like that on the rear of my truck at first too, but after having a couple of guys over on duramaxforum tell me they pulled construction trailers around and what not with the aluminum one's off ebay, I bought a set. Had them on there for about a year and x months with no issues at all. I've launched it hard, slung the back end around once or twice and pulled a few trailers with it and have had no issues.
Fred's spacers are probably better in terms of durability, but they are awful expensive. If I remember right, he quoted me like $350 or so just for rear spacers. I went the $100 shipped route for them on ebay and they are doing just fine.
Here is a link to a post I made on another site....its showing off my tires really, but has some good shots showing the new track width of the rear wheels with the spacers.

Thanks for the info....I registered at eBay, so I'm might try a pair over there, seem like a good deal...
1.5"
FYI, if you want to run stock wheels again you will have to cut the tips off the factory studs or take the spacers off.
aftermarket wheels have a little recess that the tip fits into.

Negative.... I'm running 1.5" on the rear of my truck with no stud cutting or problems at all. Everything went back on just fine with my 1.5".
Bought them off ebay too....paid like $100 shipped to my door for two 1.5" aluminum spacers....well....adapters I think is what they are actually called. Found a couple of guys running the exact same one's on trucks they use to pull skid steers and other construction equipment around all day and have had zero issues, so I figured instead of paying $350 or so for the steel one's, I'd give the aluminum one's a try too...and they have been on for a little over a year with no problems.
I just got a set from these guys and they were great help www.motorsport-tech.com. I spoke with Junior and he explained they are made in house, so thats a plus. They are a bit more expensive than ebay and not as bad as freds but its worth it imo.
