1.5" wheel spacers to make rear match front after lift

Hey Guy's, Not to beat a dead horse but i did a quick search on doing the 1.5" wheel spaces on the rear of my 02 2wd f150 since i did the spindle lift so the track width matches front and rear. I did do a search but still wanted to know if any one has had any problems with them. I just added a set of fender flares and it is deff noticble now. I never off road my truck but i still want to keep it safe and don't want to mess anything up in the rear end. Thanks!

You will be fine as long as you check them periodically and don't offroad heavily. If I ever get around to doing this, I'd add a little loctite to the factory studs just for safe measures.

Nice. I got tires I'm buying this week, then hopefully I can get back into buying all of the little things like that.

I picked up some D. Cepek fun country's a few weeks ago. Two of them were over half tread but the rest were trash. For now I'm buying just two new ones. Almost $800 for just two is enough for the wallet for now. haha

I would recommend against wheel spacers. I looked into them for my truck but to many cons vs pros.
