I've got the Spidertrax 1.5" spacers on the way as we speak. I do have one concern with what I'm picking up here. There are a few posts that are recommending you re torque the spacers after 100 or 200 miles. My question is this, if you properly torque the spacers down the first time why do I need to re torque in such a short time period? Won't this make the loctite that's applied during the original installation pointless? I know Jeep isn't running out to re torque everything else on my jeep after the first 100 or 200 miles. I'm pretty sure I understand the better safe than sorry part of re torque debate but is there any other value and which has the greater benefit, original torque with loctite or re torque with a busted loctite seal?

 

I checked mine and they were all at 110 ft lb still. They did not budge at all. I am leaving mine alone, and will check them each time I rotate the tires

 

i've got a solution. loctite and torque them down to 110 ftl/lbs. then, when you check them, set the wrench to 100 ft/lbs. you won't break the seal, and you will know they are still torqued. the spydertrax specs are 85-110 ft/lbs

 

I will buy two sets;

1. Set 1 for behind the wheel to space it out to run my larger tires.
2. the other set i will bolt to the outside of the wheel. That should negate all the offset weight issues right?.

 

Ya, go ahead on er!

 

Dead on, just be sure to order the lugcentric, not hubcentric for the outer spacers
