PLEASE STICK THIS, This topic has been popular lately. Edit as you wish mods to save our butts.
DONT BUY CHEAP EBAY SPACERS. Even the best known name brands have failed before.
Ive use them with out issues for years at a time but there are plenty of people that will fight against the use of spacers till their faces turn blue.
There are plenty of testimonials both for and against wheel spacers. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Buy a good brand like spidertrax, Properly torque all spacer lugs and use blue lock tight on them. Re check the torque on all spacer lugs after 50 miles and 500 miles. I know its a pain but the can loosen. do the same check for the wheel lug nuts. Do NOT use lock tight on the regular wheel lug nut studs. check torque at 50 an 500 miles. These are the guide lines that were set forth buy the tire shop that i worked for. They are the best suggestion on spacer use but again USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, We are NOT Liable for anything.
Be warned, many tire shops WILL NOT install or service a vehicle with spacers. I was turn away from service many times with my old cherokee with 5" lift and 35" tires and 1.5" spacers.
I believe the torque for jeep lugs is 115 ft lbs but it might be different for newer Different Jeeps.
PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THIS A OMG YOUR GONNA DIE IF YOU USE SPACERS OR OMG I LOVE SPACERS THREAD, LET LEAVE IT AT THIS INFORMATION AND LET PEOPLE MAKE A DECISION BASED UPON THIS INFO AND OTHER THREADS.
