Does anyone know how long the factory wheel studs are? I was looking at getting a set of 1" bolt on spacers, but I don't want to have to cut down my factory studs.

I believe they are like 1.4" or something crazy like that. 1.5" spacers just barely clear them.

The 1.5's on mine actually stick out a tiny bit! Go 1.5 man, is definitely worth it!

I'll get some 1.5" spacers. I only have stock 265/70's, but I wanna bring them out so they don't look so tiny under the truck... plus I had 315/70r17's (35x12.5) test fitted, and the tire shop liked the wear foot print with 40psi in them on a 7.5" wide wheel. Might have to find a buyer for my AT3's with barely 4k on them. :D

Thanks for the help guys. :favorites13:

FYI - a 315/70/17 will rub with 1.5" spacers on stock wheels and only a 2" level. Just so you're aware if you go to put them on down the road...

Some stock wheels have indents in between the bolt holes on the hug side of the wheel that would allow the stock lugs to project into if you use smaller than a 1.5" spacer. I'd recommend checking out your wheels to see if they have that which would allow you to run a smaller spacer if you wanted to.

Thanks for the heads up.

I'll check the back of my wheels when my driveway drys up some.

315 70 17 with no spacers, no rub, stock warlock 17 wheels, 2024 classic 1500. It's all about the front bumper and tire brand and factory ride height
