    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 got 1.5" bora spacers on my truck as well. I offroad the truck a good amount from mild trails to desert terrains. No issues here. I check and retorque the lugs if needed every tire rotation.

    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.

    • @jeffscott3160
      @jeffscott3160 3 роки тому +2

      From the looks of your wheel hub you were running cheap lug centric ebay spacers that sheared off your lug nuts. As this video points out, hub centric spacers are perfectly safe, lug centric ones, like the ones you had, are not. I have over a 100K miles towing 10k on my 2" hub centric spacers with no issues. You not only get what you pay for with these, but it may end up costing you a truck or worse. Glad your OK.
