Love the way it turned out. Always told the wife my truck looked like it had skipped leg day before the spacers.


Nice setup! we have the same suspension & tires except mine are 35x12.5
I now rub when turning after installing the spacers. I gotta spread the crash bars a bit

Are the wheels fully seated on the spacers or are they sitting on the studs of the truck because the truck studs are sticking through. I'm not sure if the wheels have pockets to allow that but if not you better stop driving it before you lose a wheel. I'm not bashing or real knowledgeable about 15+ trucks just trying to prevent a heck of a mess from happening

15+ sport wheels do have the "pockets" to not have to cut down the studs.

Yeah I would like bigger tires but got these real cheap from my cousin that was upgrading to MT's.
$300 for the set, less than 10K miles on them.
Couldn't pass it up!!!!!!

Ha small world! Yeah Flatt tire center did the leveling kit and alignment for me. They did a great job and I had the truck back within a couple hours. Highly recommend them!

I will keep an eye out for you around town!

Makes a big difference with the wheel spacers. Should never skip leg day lol

Nice look with the spacers. Need to add these to the to-do-list. List never seems to get shorter.

Just wondering how safe spacers are really. Great idea but is there a chance they may fail traveling at high speed? I guess we can put them on here in Ontario but you would have to take them off in the event of a safety inspection.

Any input please would be appreciated.

I researched them for over 6 months. Never did I find a failed BORA spacer. Found the occasional failed spacer but it was either one of two things, Improper install or cheap no name brands.

All the post saying they are going to fail were accompanied by only the hearsay (my cousins, friends, neighbors, uncle's spacers failed) and not personal experience, all the positive post were accompanied by a pic of their truck pulling a trailer for over 10k miles etc..

Do your research and make your own decision. The jeep world has used good quality spacers for a long time with no problems.
