Wheel spacers

[CJ2Rox]

I know there been talk on here about this subject but I'm hesitant on getting 2" or more to not put strain on my bearings. Max, would love your feedback on topic or anyone with them. DF are I think 2, would love to see who has 1" to 1.5. Feedback on what you used and any modifications

I have 1.5”. Been on since 2018. No problems at all. 245/70/16 Goodyear mud tire. 10 ply

Where did u get them? Any more mods to them

CJ2Rox, how does the 10 ply ride on county roads. Thinking about putting 10 ply on mine later. Will they bounce you around on a rub-board road?

 

[CJ2Rox]

Reduce air pressure to increase ride quality

Bought tires at Walmart. Spacers and lug nuts at Amazon. I have since added the on the Rox reverse shackle level kit.

 

[Woodsman74881]

28-32 psi. Ride is fine.

 

[CJ2Rox]

Whats the dimensions for the roxor wheels. Which ones on Amazon. Could u look up that purchase in history that far

Poked a punci stick through one of the factory tires this weekend. Luckily it was patch-able. I am thinking on putting 10 ply on when I wear the factory ones out. Lot of dirt roads and ranch roads to go down. Roxor is so light I was afraid it might want to do a jig on these roads if I get to going too fast.

10 plys are fine on gravel. I drive them all the time. Just run them around 28-32 and they work great on pavement and dirt. Any more than 35 psi and you’ll bounce around.

I hated the factory wranglers on mine.

 

[Farmer78]

I have spent so much on "accessories" that I will have to wear the wranglers out before I can "upgrade" to better tires.

 

[Woodsman74881]

Mine are 10 ply wrangler authority. Not like the factory wranglers. Use them in my wooded pasture and the woods. No problems at all. Self clean of mud very well. At the time I paid $94 each. Mounting and balanced have less than $500 in them. Sold the old KO 2s so balanced out about to $100 difference.

Bought the 1.5 spacers now what do I torque them too?

 

[Woodsman74881]

Torque the same as a lug nut. I put blue loctight on mine. Others may not agree with that, but my spacers have not come loose in 4 years.

 

[CJ2Rox]

I cleaned off area with brake cleaner and wiped down. This is my first time ever using wheel spacers. I will probably remove and add the loctide. Was a common fail with using them?

I started with 2" Spacers on a 5" lift and 35"x 12.50" tires. Awesome stance and look, but I couldn't drive it in the rain decent. Flung everything on the windshield even with small flares. I'd have to run some huge flares to keep it to a minimum. Just went to 1.5" and that kept the road spray liveable. No issues so far, 5000 miles.

Got pics of the fitment without spacers? I'm running 6 ply super swamper pizza cutters. 33x9.50 with a 2 inch spacer should stick out almost as far as your 35s without spacers.

 

[Longslyde]

I never mounted them without spacers. They would fit with the wheels I'm using as they are only 3.5" back spacing, but the turning radius would be slightly lessened as the tires will contact the springs.

Here it was with 2" spacers with 3.5 backspacing before flares:

Here it is currently with 1.5" spacers, 3.5" backspacing and flexi flares:
