No matter what spacer you get, make sure you get the bolt on hub centric type. The slip on type can be dangerous if not installed in the correct way.

Spidertrax wheel spacers are constructed of 6061T6 aluminum, are wheel and hub centric, and are anodized blue to prevent corrosion. They are $100/pair and are 1.25" thick.



Rough Country also makes a wheel spacer they claim to be 6061T6 aluminum (there is speculation that they may not be as strong as Spidertrax but are still plenty strong for this application), are hub centric, and are corrosion resistant. They are $60/pair.



I have the Rough Country version. I like them and prefer the cheaper price for a well made product. Either will serve you well as long as you install them properly and check them occasionally.

This is how far they bumped out my 245/75R16 tires:

Yep. I went with the 1.5" from Rough Country.

The dual steering stabilizer is only acting as a band-aid and will actually cause some additional unneeded wear on your steering.

Have you checked your control arm bushings? When you installed the lift, did you loosen all the CA bolts and re-torque them while the vehicle was sitting on its own weight?

Another thought is the track bar - are the holes wallowed out where it mounts to the frame? That would cause a wobble as well...

Is anyone going to mention most shops wont touch a vehicle with wheel spacers? Your best off finding new wheels with 4.5" bs
That's my biggest issue with wheel spacers. I rotate my tires when I change my oil but knowing that I can't go to DiscountTire to have my tires balanced unless I remove my wheel spacers is annoying.
