spidertrax are what people seem to use. 1.25" hubcentric.

I take it you mean wheel spacers. Spider Trax are the best ones. Some will say they are ok to use and some will disagree. I can show you mine with and without, but not with the tires you want.

i had some good ones of before and after the spaceres untill my computer crashed

Donnie had posted some pics when he had his on, I had a set for a while, liked how it brought the tires right out to the edge of the fender, what I didnt like was how the rear shock was now like 2/3 inches away from the tire, would be easier to catch it on a rock IMO. But spidertrax are the way to go for sure

They rubbed so I only run them on the rear now.

I installed 1 1/4" billet spacers similar to Spidertrax. Found them on the Rubicon Forum and got them for a steal. (Spidertrax can be pricey..)

If you can change tires you can install wheel spacers, just make sure you use lock tite, and torque to specs, check in a 100 miles or so and should be OK

Did you Lib handle better with the spacers ?

Did it reduce body roll ?

isutherl · **Posted:** Sat Jan 19, 2008 6:51 pm

I want spacers but can't spend the money right now, does anyone have problems with small stones flinging up from the front tires, maybe hitting the mirrors?

tommudd · **Posted:** Sat Jan 19, 2008 8:08 pm

I never had any problems with stones but then only had them for like 3/4000 miles, more water spray back but it looks good :wink:

Your KJ looks great with the spacers, What size tires are you running? And what size lift do you have? I ordered some spiders for my lifted KK last night, can't wait to get them on, had me dealer do the measuring for me me and he says I should have no rubbing or clearance probs up front. I know when I had billet spacers 1.25's on my 2003 liberty and skyjacker 2.5 lift never had probs, so just curious about your lift height.

Thanks Matt
