Does anybody have a picture of the spidertrax spacers on a stock rig? I have a new Rubi and would love to give her a wider stance. I'm just accredit might look funny if it is too wide.

I don't have a pic that I can find, but it looks great. it pushes them out near the edge of the fenders with 1.5" spacer. As other mention it stabilizes the vehicle a bit too.

Look on the classified section here for some used spacers for half the price.

A negative for spacers is adding unsprung weight... Buying the lightest and reputable spacers is the way to go...

i installed 1.5 inch rough country spacers about a month ago . these are quality parts despite some negative comments i have read about them , mostly from other brand owners . they are far cheaper than other brands and i have no qualms about running them . i have been a mechanic my whole life and am anal when it comes to safety in my vehicles . these look great installed and all studs and fasteners are quality components . the downside to any spacer is with the added width comes added stresses on axle and wheel end components . just like anlonger lever you have more force exerted in any given situation
