anyone have 1" to 1.5" billet spacers (2 Viewers)

[slickrock]

I am looking to widen my stance a little bit. I dig Chad's stance and since my wheel base is 110"s, I could use some more stability with a wider footprint. I have used 1.5" spacers on my old CJ and with proper inspection intervals, they have not let me down. I kow they put more strees on the birfs, but so would swapping my 3.25" backspacing to 2" or less.

(of course since I have have a bit o wheel play from the inspection I'll fix this first).

Anyone from the club have a full set?

Call Marlin up and order some spacers. They should have them in stock

I can't make it to the meeting tomorrow, otherwise I would ask him in person. I'll call.

I believe trailgear has more sizes and is a bit cheaper but I'd get them from Marlin.

Marlin just got more in stock, got mine last week the day before tech.

Did you have them on?

Are these the bolt on wheel spacers or the slip on after you install longer wheel stud type spacers?

 

[Hottrod81]

They are bolt on.

Just ordered 2 pair. Should be here in a few days. Waiting patiently for them. Now need to do those wheel bearings.

I think there is a wrenching weekend scheduled in the near future.

yeah. I might hold up till then, but I was thinking that might be a good time to install my 60 series ignition.

Is it going to be at your shop Dan?

 

[D'Animal]

WHen is it again? (Sorry missed the meeting. My son's cat he got last month was ran over and I got to explain death to a 4 yearold so he stopped blaiming himself for the cat leaving). fun times.

 

[D'Animal]

April 12th.

Sorry to hear about the cat.

Did you have them on?

Yes, was planning on running those iroks i got up there to tech but decided to take it one step at a time seeing that i had just got it on the road again.

My wheel base is 110"s.

Now I don't feel so bad about my FJ45EC being only 122". It's only a foot longer than yours. I run 1/2 slip on spacers in the front since the rims were for drum brake axles.

 

[slickrock]

typo on my end, or one of the few nights I had a few Downtown Browns. Wheel base is 100" . . . my bad.

 

[Hottrod81]

Just keep in mind that by widening the stance, it will be harder to steer.

 

[megolfer]

Dang I dont even think my 40 has a wheelbase of 100 and I have flipped both springs and moved my perches back
