Default BEFORE and AFTER with SPACERS.

Hi everyone.

So my spacers arrived today and I finally put them on and took some before and after photos. What do you all think?

I love them.

They are 2.25" on the rear and 1.5" on the front. I haven't had any rubbing whatsoever...

LOL at the mudflaps.

They were extremely easy to put on. If you can change a tire, you can put on spacers. You'll need someone with you to step on the brakes when you are putting on the front spacers (to prevent it from spinning when tightening) I used 100 Torque for tightening.

Cool looks good, does it ride differently because of the spacing? Looks good. I might be doing that eventually but not sure.

Default RE: BEFORE and AFTER with SPACERS.

I'm going to do this in the spring. I heard from someone here that with the stock spacing, a 2" in the rear and a 1.25" in the front will make the tires even which is the look I want. Most of you prolly already knew that, but someone might not know that lmao.
