And while the Spidertrax are great, I actually bought the Rough Country 1.5" spacers for a lot less money. I think I paid about $125 for the pair. Just installed them today, so if I end up with my wheels coming off on the highway this week I'll make sure and post an update.
Actually just bought 1.5 Spidertrax spacers yesterday and they arrived today. Had to get them just for peace of mind! Goodluck on your spacers. Can't wait to get everything on.

Post some pics from front and side when you get them installed. I'm considering the same tire/spacer combo and would love to see how it looks.

Stock 18s on my Jeep. Went to 275/70-18 duratrac. Used RC 1.5" spacers. Over a year, no problems. Love the stance, great ride, no issues. I rotate every 6k. No signs of wear, visible or performance.

If possible can you please let me know how much this combo effected your mpg and speedometer reading? I'm not worried about my mpg but would like to know how much effect it actually has. Thanks in advance.
