I'm not currently using the spacers though if that's what you were asking, they're sitting in my garage. This is all wheel this time.

I was wondering if you wer interested in selling them ?
Are they still in good shape ? Corrosion at the contact area to the hub or gouged or deformed by the required torque checking ?
I will be getting 12" wide wheels in the future ,but spacers would give me most of the wide stance I'm looking for ...

I've had both, 18/9 0 offset rockstars for a long time on 35's with 1.5" spacers, just pulled them off and went to a 20/12 -44 offset with 33's. I've got a 2.5" level up front, 3/4 or 1" in the rear (been too long since I put it in) and a 3" body lift.

These are the 20's, I'll find some of the 18's and spacers and post them later.

Finally somebody with this combo...question...since yours is the TRX or "Outdoorsman" and you have the 2.5" spacers up front (which most don't recommend because of the longer shocks on the TRX/Outdoorsman) do you have any issues with vibration or extreme cv angle issues? I read a lot of your post and know you really use your truck so I know you have some good real world experience.

Man I was really stressed about that additional shock length causing too much stress on the cv's but then I actually thought about it. How many guys on here use a rough country 6" lift and also have bilstien set at 2.8 on top of it? A LOT. Rcx only drops the diff 4" so with a 6 inch lift you're already adding an additional 2" of movement to the cv, throw bilstiens on top of that and you've got a healthy vc angle going and those guys aren't eating axles like mad so what is 3.2" really going to do?

I leveled the truck within 2 weeks of buying it, it's had 3 sets of wheels, 4 sets of tires, 103k miles, tons of towing and off road and the front end is perfect. I had the alignment checked recently and it was still in spec and I haven't had it aligned since 55,000 or so. No leaking boots, no clicking when turning etc. I don't drive around in 4hi doing 55 mph, if I'm in 4wd I'm usually doing 25 or under on some god awful flooded lease road to my rig down near the border but I've never had an issue with vibration or parts wear.

Everyone's experience will be different I'm sure depending on usage because I know there are horror stories all over the net about vibrations, wheels falling off from spacers, etc but I've had every type of lift and level known to man since I got my license in 1993 and all of my trucks have been well used but not abused and I've not had an issue with anything and I wouldn't hesitate to do the same mods over again. I'm very pleased with how well it's held up.

Let me get you a picture of them today. I might let them go, I think my next truck will probably have 8 lugs again so I doubt I'll use them anymore.

Post of the year!!!!!!!! Lol great feedback...I'm very similar to you in that I like to push the norm I've run spacers body lifts stacked suspension lifts etc on all my trucks and have personally never had any issues. This post is exactly what I wanted and needed to hear to make my decision. Now if F'N Chrysler would release EcoDiesel ordering I could actually do something instead of talking about it and having anxiety waiting to get a new truck lol

Do you think the setup you have now (x12's and 33's) would fit without the body lift?
I'm leveled and want to run this setup eventually but don't want to go any higher.

Gonna be iffy, with stock wheels it might, with 0 offset or below I'd expect rubbing.

Member Jameson has Bilstein's at 2.8" and a 1.5" Body Lift with 20x12 and 33x12.50s (same exact wheels and tires as Slodsm as a matter of fact) and says he very slightly rubs....I don't think 12" wide on just a level would work without major plastic trimming and most likely sheet metal trimming from what I've read

Misread the question, bagged is right, these won't fit with just a level. I thought you were asking if stock wheels with 1.5" spacers would clear with just a level.

My bust, read wayyyy too quick

No rubbing or any fitment issues. Most likely can't fit mud flaps on the front. Installed them on the rear.
Tires stick out about 1.5", but I have Bushwacker Extend-a-Fender, which cover 1.75"... roughly.
