Do you need spacers?! You can find them here!

Caught some 2" Mammoth Spacers on sale from American Trucks about a month back. Had good reviews, so I pulled the trigger. Pushed out my factory 20x9 Ram Express wheels about an inch from the wheel well. Been riding about 2k miles, not a problem yet. Proper torque wrenching and thread locker = all systems go.

I've been using some 3 inch titan wheel accessories spacers on my chevy k1500 for about 3000 miles now and they are great. I would recommend them. Cheap too

[Ryan_Toppi]

I used Bora spacers 1 1/2” on my truck for 10, 000 miles. Zero issues. Now rocking black rhino +12 offsets to clear all my aftermarket suspension you guys sold me!

[stump]

I run 2” BORA spacers on the rear of my 2500 Chevy. Tow with it, off road with it. I haven’t had any issues with them.

[CyberSamurai]

Just got my spacers from u guys! Bora! Hopefully get put on tomorrow

[SoreTv]

I bought 2.5” aluminum bora spacers on the first of october, they haven’t arrived yet but I’m excited for them to arrive.

[tntproductions]

Never had an issue with supreme suspension 2” spacers on 3 different trucks

[reymalaret]

I have no idea what brand my spacers are, and although I have use spacers on all my vehicles until I’m able to buy new wheels with zero incidents so far I’ll follow your advice because I really like my 2018 Rebel rims and I love to have them flush with the fender flares. Therefore, I’ll be getting a set of Bora for my toy. Thanks for the info.

[keithbartlett]

Went with 2" Boras. No complaints. Ordered them during all the nonsense and pandemic took quite a bit to get here but worth the wait' for a quality product..

I’ve had 1.5” bora spacers on for about 60k miles, not a single problem!

[antoniohernandez]

Running Bora 2" spacers for 15k miles so far on stock Ram 20x8 wheels. Re-torqued them after 8k miles and they were not loose at all.

I am running 37" x 12.5" Mickey Thompson Baja's R20's on stock F250 wheels. What size (complete description) spacers would I need to prevent rubbing? Thanks for the help.

[Back_door_bandit_]

Can’t lie I’m running 2 inch non hub centric Amazon spacers on my 2016 2500 Silverado torqued with the ole Milwaukee half inch I put Anti-seize all over the back of the spacer and on every stud haven’t had an issue I also tow around 10k pounds occasionally with it rims are stock steel 17s with 35x12.50r17 tires

[ashtonmariefranklin]

I run spacers on my truck, with factory wheels. What sucks is that the state safety inspection of Pennsylvania says wheel spacers are deemed unsafe and illegal to use so every time i get my truck inspection done, I have to remove the spacers. I run 1" steel hub centric spacers, and torque to factory specs and recheck after the first 100 miles, then recheck every oil change when we rotate the tires. Using the same spacers for 3yrs now without any problems.

[gab]

If you buy good ones and have a good mechanic put them on and torque then to spec you should be good.

[patricklogston]

Any chance I won that curbed Arkon?!?! Haven’t been able to sleep all week in hopes of having that baby hanging on the wall in the shop! 😁

[bzwhips]

Been on Amazon Spacers to run a 17in stock wheel drag setup in my 1, 000+hp Vette for about a year. Numerous track visits and 160mph+ roll race hits. I check them at least every other month. No issues thus far (knock on wood)

[rhysl]

When are you guys gonna shoot a video of a 20+ lifted 3500 silverado? I just got a 2022 3500HD and I reaaaally wanna see some different setups!

[davidjoeseph]

The only real thing I've heard about at shops is they make the bearings wear out faster because it transfers the weight at an angle.
