if you want universal 1/4" spacers you can get them at stores like autozone or advanced auto.

If you want hubcentric you will have to get 3/8" spacers but they are made to order and are not cheap.
Question for ya if you're around...

I've purchased 35x12.5x20 Nitto Terra Grapplers to go on my stock Laramie 20x9s. Truck is 2011 4x4, details in siggy.

I'm currently running a 2756520 on 1.5" hubcentric spacers at all corners. These 2756520 are actually pretty large for what they are and I get some rubbing in reverse at full lock but that's it. The Kanatis are 34.3 dia. and 11" wide. The new Nittos are only 34.5 dia. but obviously wider.

For new rubber I didn't think I'd have any issues keeping the 1.5" spacers and running the 35x12.5s but reading some posts tonight has me questioning all this.

I'm hoping to keep the spacers so the stock wheels sit where they should as I already have pocket flares installed.

If I have to install without the 1.5" spacers does that mean I'm scrambling for 1/4" universals in the morning since I have 20x9s?

I'll add that I do have a 2.5" level up front so no issues there. I did just check inventory at local Advance and they have 5 x 5.5 1/4" universals in stock. I may pick a pair up for the front in the am, then it's dependent on the shop from there. I have a long history with them.

Still hoping my torqued 1.5" hubcentric spacers will be ok. Crap like this was easier on my Dakota to Dremel the front bumper for clearance...lol

Since you are already getting some rubbing at full luck in reverse you are going to still get that and some more. You might find it’s just rubbing the fender liner and it’s an easy fix. My current setup rubs some at full lock also. It’s doesnt rub much so I don’t worry too much and just try not to go full lock if I can avoid it

Well, got them on this morning and I'm happy. Just a tiny bit of liner rub but they fill things out nicely. Exactly what my truck needed....makes a huge difference over what I was running.

No issues with the 1.5" wheel spacers either.

I'll get some pics up later with specifics.

Adding to the thread. New shoes installed today.

2.5" front level, 1.5" hubcentric spacers, stock shocks for now, stock 20x9 chrome clads.

Tires are 35x12.50x20 Nitto Terra Grappler G2s

Extremely pleased with the result over the ATs I was running previously. These fill things out and do wonders for the stance even on stock wheels.

Only a very slight rub on the driver side wheel liner, otherwise ALL CLEAR. May torch it or take the Dremel to it this weekend.8273153578000ce02bd974682d4ee89e.jpg825ae1e1728afd934b888fbe947c5a64.jpgbd96be5cf209326eb556b8d53c833706.jpg18ae3a6b6e99c6b980c87632d4046c79.jpge17844d360b09f7311c032a314e7a6f8.jpg

I originally got mine from DT Moto so this is a different seller but the same item.

It's kinda cool, the leds stay on low when the truck is on like a running light.

Have had it installed for over a year, plug and play.

Ha, no problem and thank you!

Search for EGR Cab Spoiler. A lot of people sell it so just find the best price. There's also a thread on here with people discussing it.

Very nice looking single cab I wanted to know did you have to drill into the roof to put the lights I really wanted to do that to mines

Single cab sure would make for a much easier headliner drop!! rofl

Yes I did . They are OE MOPAR lights , comes with template. Each light required two 1/4" holes and a ......I forget now if it was a 5/8" hole between the 1/4" holes for the light socket and wire. A step drill makes this a piece of cake to do . No extra sealant just the way the factory would of mounted them and no Leakes. As far as the headliner goes I only took console, visors and A miller out and the headliner dropped far enough to get the job done . I probably did 5 Rams and about 6 other brand trucks , never a leak. I preferred the amber lens which is plentiful on eBay
