spacer legality....
will I pass inspection in Texas with 1.5 spidertrax on? (i have 285 / 75 / 16 Duratracs) Thanks for the help! Also, are they really necessary when i get a 2.5 teraflex coil lift with shocks?

I general BOLT ON spacers are legal in all states. If they werent you would't see any duallies on the road. You still need to check your local laws as they may have regulations on materials or thickness, etc.

TxDOT Vehicle Inspection criteria regarding wheels:
Inspection/Rejection Criteria
20.31 Wheel Assembly. The inspection of all wheels and rims will be visual. Spare wheels and rims will not be inspected.
Wheel covers or hubcaps may be removed from the vehicle if the certified inspector has probable cause or reason to believe that wheel or rim defects exist.
1. Inspection Procedure. Examine visually.
2. Inspect for and reject if:
a. Loose, missing, or damaged wheel studs, bolts, nuts, or lugs.
b. Any part of the wheel is bent, cracked, rewelded, or damaged so as to affect safe operation of the vehicle.
c. Wheel nuts, studs, and clamps which are loose, broken, missing, or mismatched. Adequate thread engagement is imperative. Stud and nut threads on wheel lugs must engage completely through the entire threaded portion of the nut.
d. Rims and rings which are mismatched, bent, sprung, or otherwise damaged. Check for evidence of rim slippage - this is an indication of wear of loose nuts.
e. Disc wheels with elongated bolts, holes, or cracks between hand holes or stud holes, or both.
f. Cast wheels with cracks, evidence of wear in the clamp area, or both.
g. Rims have defects or cracks to the extent that they impair the safe mounting and proper retention of tires.
h. Any wheel cannot be securely fastened to the hub of the vehicle.
i. On motorcycles and motor-driven cycles, any spokes are bent, loose, broken, or missing.

So long as your wheels appear to be in good condition and don't present a safety hazard, you'll pass. They won't care if you have spacers, as long as it doesn't affect the driveability of the Jeep.
