Spidertrax vs Rugged Ridge wheel spacers
As the title reads. The RR spacers are significantly cheaper than the Spiders but I was wondering if it is gonna be one of the "you get what you pay for situations"? Anyone have an experience with the RR spacers? I don't hear to much about them on here, but I see the Spidertraxs come up all the time. Or any reason why I should get one or the other? I'm gonna hopefully be getting a TF 2.5 lift and putting 35s on my stock wheels sometime after Christmas so I know I'm gonna need spacers.
Thanks for any and all info
Nick

Yep. Planmans pro-spidertrax arguments are fairly persuasive, and we have some detail to back up the quality claims. There are people running all of the various brands with no issues whatsoever, but I think I would opt for spidertrax over an unkown (any brand with no analysis to back it up) or one that is known to have inferior specs.

I have a set of RR on order from my local dealer who swears they are just fine. He runs them on 3 different rigs. I just wish I would have known before I ordered them that the Spiders were American made and RR are foreign. I am trying to decide if I need to take the loss and sell them.

Thanks for all of the info everybody!! 
I think I'm just gonna get the Spidertraxs for a few extra bucks and be done with it. It seems they are the most realistic way to go.
Thanks again!
