Default 1.25" spacers

I finally got around to installing 1.25" wheel spacers on my JIMMY. Just posting it up if anyone's interested in doing it themselves.

Il post up a couple more in a little bit.

Looks good, do you notice a difference in cornering, handling?

It might just be me, But I think it feels a little bit tighter when turning. I also like the size (1.25") because it evens your wheels out but doesn't make your tires look to skinny for the truck. Definitely an awesome buy. They were $56 and were very well machined. Here's more pics as promised.

A little wider stance at back:


I tried to make a before and after but I couldnt get the angle right.

I think It looks great man and it really makes a differance. I have 22" rims on mine and your talking about handling was inproved 30% and for these things thats alot.

The spacers make a huge difference in the look of a blazer. The narrower rear axle looks just kinda wrong to me, so making the back end match is a great choice. Make sure that you check the torque on the bolts after 150 miles or so. On mine I had to snug each nut a bit after about 150 miles, but after that they were perfect. I had them on for almost 2 years before I changed axles, and now my brother has them on his S10.

Heres the link to the ones on my truck.

I came out to the truck everyday for about 3 months after I read on here that the rear wheels are sunk in. Everyday I looked down the side of my truck and just shaked my head haha. IMO it looks so much better in person I just cant snap a good pic of it.

Heres my problem now, the jimmy above got totaled and i bought a 2wd blazer. I took the spacers off the jimmy but i need to order another set for the front of the blazer. I can find hubcentric ones (correct centerbore) but i cant find ANY wheel centric 1.25" spacers. Would I be ok ordering some non-wheel centric spacers?
