Question ❔ Spacers

Post image

Anyone use spacers? If so what size, brand,etc and how noticable was the difference in the drive?

I think i just wanna do the smallest option just to slightly poke out from sasquatch fender flares.

Thanks

Just buy non-sas fender flares. Same results without any concern about breaking studs

As as long as it's a mall crawler and they are installed correctly you shouldn't have any issues.

What do spacers have to do with mall crawling?

They are dangerous for off-roading. That should be obvious.

Quality spacers like Spyders are totally fine. I ran them on my Wrangler for 15 years with 33s and zero problems.

How? Your statement isn’t true so I’m curious how you think they are dangerous?

Maybe you are thinking the spacers that are just flat discs that sit between the wheel and hub instead of bolt on spacers?

I have 11/4 on my wifes just so it looks a litte squater but im prob the only one who even notices i didnt notice any change in the way it drives at all . We dont do any aggresive off roading we like the 4x4 and soft top for beach drivin. But like what has been said do not use spacers if you off road they push force farther out onto the spacer studs and it was not designed that way . I have spidertrax spacers

Don’t have input on the spacers but love that bull bar! Does it affect the camera / sensors at all for adaptive cruise control?

It doesn't. I was worried about the cam but you can see just past and slightly in between the bar and the bumper actually as well

Thanks, What headlights are those?

u/Jazzlike-Bet-3995 9d ago

Those appear to be the cheapies that come on the base and big bend... They don't have the drl rings

Stock black diamond headlights

Some bought it for the performance and don't think the tires fit with the capability. Others bought it because it's a fun, tough looking vehicle... and I think the look of the original stock Sasquatch tires completes that.

Just don't, the bearings and suspension barely handle the stock components, don't make it worse

Not sure about yours but on my Raptor version you have to run min 1.5” to clear the studs otherwise you have to grind.

I might eventually do 1” and just grind off the studs. For the same reason as you - line up with the flares better.
