So far an excellent upgrade. And got them for $178. w/free shipping! Cheapest I've seen them.
Can I put spacers on stock wheels and no lift just for the look?

Yes, I did that for a while. I just took mine off when I went w/ different wheels. Let me know if you're interested in 'em. I'd ship 'em to you for $120, all done.

I have had Spidertrax for over 3 years and 30000 miles, most on the highway. The spacers made the Jeep ride like it was on rails at 80 mph compared to without. They look great too.

They made mine feel more stable. I have 15K miles on mine and no issues at all.

Do you have any pictures of this? (Stock set up with just the spacers.) I have a new Rubi and would love to give it just a wider stance. Just want to make sure it doesn't look funny.
