BTB Back Spacers (opinions)

[Darkrealms]

I know a lot of people don't like back spacers but I'm considering them with my SOA'd because I was stupid and didn't get enough offset on my wheels (not to fit, just rolling).
I've found BTB PRODUCTS Wheel Spacers and I'm a little leery of aluminum. I also don't know anything about BTB the company. They also seem kinda spendy but I wouldn't know I've just started looking.
Thanks for any thoughts and opinions.

Lots of cruiserheads using spacers. Sleeoffroad and Marlin Crawler are good choices. If properly installed, they seem to work fine. I like mine - have had them for about 5000 miles.

Marlin has them for $85 per pair which is a little cheaper.

Thanks for the responses.
Craig what PitBull tires do you run? I really like their rockers just so expensive. Do you run beadlocks? I've heard (someone local that had a pair) the tires don't hold a bead as well without them.

Has anyone noticed a quality difference with them? Are they all aluminum? There seems to be quite a variance in prices on ebay.

Pit Bull Growlers

Yes..they are Growlers 305-70-16's (I think) I just run a standard black steel 16" rim. I ran them at about 15 psi???? last time and they were GREAT!! Pretty agressive and pretty soft but they do crawl. Go to the Tornado Alley Cruiser Club link and go to the third page (I think) and click on the DSR...(Daylight Savings Run) Mine is the light blue 60 with the ARB bumper.

Spacers wont give you any problem. But go with them ones from marlin.

As for BTB I have their spring and dont like them at all and they were a PITA to deal with.

I got a set off ebay for all 4 ~$120 shipped. It was for a tundra but had the same bolt pattern.

I run 1" spacers and really like them. I got mine from one of the vendors here on mud Differential parts and accessories | Ring & Pinions | J.T.'s Parts and Accessories.

Trailgear also sells them for a good price. They come up for sale used frequently so be checking around the classifieds.
