    For those of you running the Spidertrax wheel spacers what size are you using? For now (and probably forever!) I will be running the stock size 265/65R17 Fallen AT3W tires which I absolutely love! I just thing the 1.25" spacers would just make look a bit cooler along with the 2.5" front leveling kit. I have a 3" difference front to rear so it should be no problem. Also have the factory RAS which I like. Out of curiosity (again!) Is it possible to get any extra lift, <2", out of that setup in case I decide to shake things up in the distant future?

    I just put 1.25" spacers on, with a 2 inch dealer lift. The tires rub! I am running BFG AT 285/75R17. I hope my dremel and some careful trimming will solve the issue.

    Did your tires rub? What lift do you have?

    yes, just use some heat and push the front plastic back and some minor trimming. You may still rub on the body at full turn, so I’m having to do a body mount chop (plasma cutter here we come)

    We have 1.25 with a 2inch lift. We took it to a local place and got the body chop mod, trimmed the fenders back a good bit on the inside. We hammered the bump back and cut that down as well. The only time it rubs is when it’s a extreme turn or loaded down with gear and 3+ people. Otherwise no rub even when off-roading


    We do notice though we might need to do the back because when we take it to get washed and they put it in the rails at the hand wash place it acts wonky because the front tires sit out further lol

    I have a 3" lift, run 285/70/17's and I get rub on driver side mostly on cab. Hesitant to do a body chop on a new vehicle. Dealer put spacers on I discovered. Going to remove them to help with the rub.

    I'm guessing that should help?
