2021 3500 Dually rear spacers

[bnscott]

I am looking to change my tires out to NITTO Ridge Grappler 285/70r17. I am looking for 2" spacers for the rear tires. Has anyone done this and if so, can you link to the spacers or if I can go with a 1.5" spacer, that will work as well.

Thanks!!

I went with Nitto dura grapplers on my dually, as a replacement for the junk nexens. I didnt need a spacer.

Such wide spacers, especially on a dually, can really stress the bearings back there. Would recommend not doing that.

With duallies, the tires can NOT touch each other.

If they do touch, they can heat up quickly

I've never had to run a spacer on my dually. What size did your truck have on it stock? Go back with the stock size or at least something a bit narrower. I wouldn't recommend running spacers for the reason Tron mentioned above.

If you aren't going to be towing and it's going to be a pavement princess, or if you have money to blow, sure, go ahead and run those spacers with those monster tires. I know everyone wants their dually to look like the Yellowstone truck, but that truck wasn't going to see a long life in the real world, and its payload was reduced JUST because of the spacers they had to run to achieve the look.

I THINK stock most duallys run 245's? Been a while since I looked. I want to say you can get away with 265's with no spacers and still haul full weight, and I think 285's will fit but will rub if you start to get close to max weight. DO NOT TAKE THESE NUMBERS FOR GOSPEL, IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE LOOKED AT DUALLIES SO PLEASE LOOK INTO IT. Tire Rack will tell you what the stock sizes for your truck were with just a few clicks.

My stock truck came with 235's

235 80 R 17's are the factory size. I've seen 255 80 R 17's run without any spacers and they have the 123/120 load index rating. They would actually be taller than the 285 70 R 17's that you are looking at and only 3/4 of an inch wider than factory size. Should be no clearance issues or the need to use any spacers.

I was just reading this posting

I wonder if a wheel manufacturer makes OFF SET Rims for Dually 3/4 or 1 ton Rams
That way, you would not need a spacer
