I cannot stand the look of the rear tires being pushed in farther than the fronts. Ive been thinking about adding a 2" spacer to the rear only to even them out with the fronts. Does anyone have any reccomendations? I know spacers can be a touchy subject for some but I believe as long as you don't cheap out and get a quality brand that they are fine.

I’ve run a half inch spacer in the front and a two inch spacer in the rear of my obs for years the tires stick out the same all the way around it looks much better. The only negative being that the tires can throw up things at the side of the truck.

I have 2" spacers on the rear. It looks much better imo.

I have towed and hauled all kinds of stuff and never had an issue with them. Like you said, get a decent set and you should be just fine.

Nothing wrong w a good spacer up to 2" or so. I'm using the Bora by Motorsport Tech -- very well made. My truck never goes off road or sees salt, but does see the strip with all 500... My main recommendation is to retorque the wheels on them a few times when new to make sure the studs are fully drawn through the spacer. I inspect them every year.

Skyjacker leveling kit with sky manufacturing 3 inch shackle lift in front so maybe around 4 inches. The rear is a 4.5 or 5 inch (I don’t remember) block only.

I have wheel spacers on my 97 but they are only like 1/4 or 1/2 inch. I’ve heard of people having wheel bearing problems that’s why I didn’t buy really thick ones. No issues here though

I have been running 3 inch spacers on my truck for 2 years now without any problems at all. Just retighten after running a few hundred miles then do it again after a few hundred more. I also retiten after going a hundred miles after tire rotations. I also tow 10,000 lb with mine regularly.
