Wheel Spacers

Hey Guys..

I'm not real happy with the stance of my truck,
and I'm thinking wheel spacers is the way to go.. seeing as how I just bought brand new tires (31x10.5)and my dad wouldn't let me get any bigger... some of you may remember older threads regarding my dillema.. anyways.. they're all like $240 for a set of 4.. i'd like 2 or 3 inchers, anyone know where i can get some CHEAPER? thanks..

I wouldn't do it. FWIW I think your stance looks badass, like an old farm truck or hunting rig. Defenitely get some more aggressive tires tho

I think it would look real bad.... sorry

3 inch spacer? the tires aren't that wide, and it would just look goofy, not to mention affect a lot of other things for no real reason

maybe go with a 1 inch.... Is it your Dad's truck? or yours?

so, have you asked him what size spacers you can get.... sounds like if you are going around his "no bigger tires" either way he's gonna be pissed

oh, and I really like how it looks as it is... maybe an inch or so more lift in rear, but even without that, it looks real clean

It looks good the way it is. Everyone says that add a leafs make it ride harsher but I did one in my 2wd and didn't notice a difference. My $.02

Not to step on anyones toes, but I bought spacers from these guys on eBay.
For nearly half the price everyone else is selling them for. The quality is top notch.

I like your stance the way it is too, I agree with everyone else.

your Dad was right, I'm afraid.

What you need are some bigger mirrors..
