I was taught to put the truck on the ground before torquing the lugs..
Correct
A couple Dugga duggas do it
If you do it carefully, shouldn't be any issues, remember, you got to torque the spacers as well, so same thing just nice and slow 😉
Looks good do you have a lift or level kit on your truck?
Makes it easier but you don’t necessarily have too
Looks great! Ive got 1.5" spacers on my Ram 2500 4wd and no problems for 2 years so far. I've towed 10k lbs with them on the truck.
dsim3211 that’s the answer I’m looking for. I ordered some on eBay for $80 hubcentric. I’m afraid to install them because I tow a lawn trailer everyday. They’re 2”
Howie C Stylez buy bora’s. eBay is junk
What brand did you go with ? Also did you have to shave down the original studs to make the wheel fit flush. ? Thanks
@@Js92415 from ebay and yes had to cut the studs down some.
Had spacers on my F250. They lasted about 9 months. Then on a long ride home, the front passenger spacer caused 7 out of 8 lugs to break. They almost killed me. I was doing 70 mph when they all broke at once.
And yes I torqued them to specs, twice and used blue lock tight.
Sure looks great! But if you want a wider stance, ditch the spacers and invest in wider wheels.
So they weren't hub centric spacers lol.. Bora hub centric spacers are perfectly safe and will not sheer studs if installed properly
@@DirtNassty hub-centric spacers may not sheer off your lug nuts but they will cause premature wear on your front end steering components, but that's okay replacing customers wheel bearings tie rod ends and Link helped put my kids through college
@@rockhead1731 can 2inch spacers be used on an Infiniti qx56 2006 with stock wheels or will it need a lift so it doesnt rub on the inside fenders? im really new to this or whats the biggest spacers that will fit
perhaps you got the cheap Chinese type?
@@rockhead1731 not necessarily
I’m putting 2 inch spacers on my new Chevy this weekend. Been binging spacer videos all week.
I think it will be a good Idea to put some anti seize compound in between steel and aluminum, just in case you plan to remove them later, also on mine, I put some blue lock tie and torque it to 120 ft/p, just my preference. Looks really nice with 2" mine is only 1.5" but I think It looks sick too.
same here
I like it better than stock. But if your complaining before about dirt kicking up on your truck, NOW will be more !
bt4b4 yep fender flares mostly cover 2 inches
I was about to say the same thing. The hood will get covered now. Does look better though.
You should torque that spacer and lug nuts to 130-140 ft lbs
I suggest getting mud flaps.. otherwise your paint will be ruined In a matter of months i made that mistake myself.. rock chips are killer
OpTic 67 300 I like the no mud flap look but paint will get beat up like you said. Paint protection film on the lower portion of the truck would be the solution.
Must have....If you like door chips. Scratched fromt windows and dings from rocks and salt. I run 22x14s in the summer months and as soon as the salt flies i sqap to the factory 20s on my 17 f250. Inlearned on my previous 15 that when the salt and road debris gets thrown up the sides of the truck it totals the paint and gets stuck in the window mould and scratches the windows when youbroll them down. Wheels pokin out and winter are a terrible combo
I have to agree with you, but I like the way it looks so it is what it is lol
i just went from 1 to 2 inch spacers on my 2008 ram 1500 and i really like the stance. just fyi i had a welder weld a flat piece of steel on under both rear lower shock mounts to give me an easy place to jack up rear tires
Looks dope I’m running 35x12.5x20 on my stock 20s on my 2014 ram This video for sure has convinced me to throw some 2 inch spacers on there now
Please use jack stands to hold the truck up next time, would be a shame if the jack fails trying to hold up the truck. Be safe man.
He will learn the hard way!
Great comment, only way
Discount Tire doesn't put jack stands under a tire change. They do more tire changes in a day than you do in a lifetime. Now if you plan on working under the vehicle, that's' a whole different ballgame.
@@devodar2579 jeez bro chill
I'm not much of a pickup truck person, however I'm digging that instrumental playing in the background lol
I have a pointer for you man. You should have put anti seize grease between the spacer and the hub since you live in a cold state like me reason being is they can get siezed up. But it looks great man. I will be doing this when i get a chance.
Every one jumps on the “tie rod” “wheel bearing” band wagon. I’ve done the 2” spacers and a 3”/2” level! OMG my shit should be flapping on the ground? Wrong, 62,000 miles still solid as day 1. Love the look, dislike the spray, but I get free car washes for life, and dealer is 1.5 miles from me.
Seriously it puts a lot of stress on wheel bearings, I've seen it be better off to buy off-set aftermarket wheels instead of "shade-tree" Mechanic spacers.
My stock F150 wheel bearing went out at 38,000 miles. I tow a 3000 lb boat, and a 4000 lb landscape trailer all the time. Agreed, I believe stuff will wear out quicker. However guys will have you believe your shit will break within a few miles. At 62,000 miles I see no issues developing that would cause me concern. I have no reason at this time to believe any wear is occurring whatsoever. I do not off-road. I have however gone over a few wagon trails.
Looks perfect I’ll be putting a set on my 2019 soon thanks for the great video
1inch keeps it tucked (can lower 1inch to save 5%gas) or raise it to kill 40% oddly, 2inch makes its right with rolled fenders, 3inch makes it a bulldog but needs 2" flare. Not sure with spacers but I'm assuming air foil is different from catching tires for MPG.
When appeal takes a back seat to MPG i question things....
Really was hoping to see compared to 1/2”
Wheel spacers can cause accelerated wear on suspension and hub components because of the added stress that they place on parts that were designed to certain tolerances by the manufacturer. Because the wheels are further from the hub, more stress is placed on the wheel bearing, hubs and/or axles, potentially causing these parts to fail prematurely.
Heavier Steering
Depending on the size of the wheel spacers, the steering will potentially become heavier. The wider track means that more effort is needed to turn the wheels, which can make it more difficult to turn the steering wheel. Again, this is dependent on the width of the spacer. A small, ¼-inch width spacer will not have as much effect as a 1- or 2-inch spacer.
Agreed and many folks do offset rims as well and they cause the same issues. But it looks good and you gotta pay to play.
Thank you, you answered my question, planning fender flares w spacers on stock wheels
The beauty of owning a truck is customizing it to your liking. With that being said you're doing a great job keep up the great work.
ROBERT GEORGESCU you could do that with any vehicle
Couple questions I hope you can answer.
1. Did you smoke your tail lights? They look good.
2. Any rubbing on front when turning after the install?
3. Did you install leveling blocks on the front?
Great looking truck!!
Yes with VHT night shades
Only rubs at full lock
Yes, the truck is leveled with a 2.5" motofab kit
Thank you!
Nice truck. Great tires. I have the same on my ram and love em out here in New England. I went with a 1” spacer and glad I did. My big concern was crap down the side of my truck. One. Suggestion that I would make is throwing a pair of Oem flares on . I noticed the new models don’t bump out as much as on the older body but anything will help. Enjoy the new ride.
James Jannell I have the 2019 1500 Limited do you know by any chance if those 1” spacers you got might fit on my truck..? If so, would you mind letting me know where you bought em..? Thanks for the feedback pal.
Hey! Did you have to trim the OEM threads at all? I have about a 1" pocket in the back of my wheels and didn't know if trimming was necessary, thanks!
It looks great, but the front hub assembly bearings and ball joints won't last long with those spacers on there. Maybe 10k miles before needing to be replaced. I know from experience. But it looks great while they last.. And I would have torqued them down at 120lbs. Maybe drive on them for about a week, and then re-torque them. They're aluminum so just like new aluminum wheels, they should be re-torqued after driving on them. I always do it at around 1000 miles.
Amateurs but atleast hes trying. What's the recommended torque for the stud, not your suggestion of torque. Aluminum changes shape between hot and cold. So can hurt parts when hot and fall off when cold. I know I write terrible but don't overtorque and check them a couple times. Happy winter.
@@4406bbldb , I believe the owners manual for the new RAM 4x4's says the torque specs are 130flbs. and I would torque them when the temps are well above freezing and he wont have any issues. Most aluminum wheels have steel inserts that the lugnuts tighten down on, but those spacers do not. And I have dealt with a lot of aluminum spacers and I have always torqued them to 120flbs. and I've never had any issues.
If it was below freezing and he torqued them to 120flbs. and it warms up, the aluminum may expand a little, but forged aluminum that is over 1/2 thick isn't going to fluctuate much at all.
@@calvinh.8882 hypothediclly if he took off for the U.P . after installing with his recommended torque and had a horrible accident could you defend the choise in court? Really I don't think there is any problem, just refer to manuals for safety stuff so you do cause a problem. No problem.
@@4406bbldb , He may already know everything I mentioned here, I'm just giving advice in case he or others reading this doesn't know these things. Have a great rest of the weekend. Peace!
@@4406bbldb , If he or anyone else does work on their own vehicle and something they did or didn't do caused a crash, then it would be their fault. And if he referred to his manual then he should have torqued them at least 30flbs more than he did. That is why I posted my first comment saying I would have torqued them to 120flbs.
I had two inch spacers on my 2019 classic an blow my front wheel bearing if the roads in your area are full of pot holes go to the proper offset rim to get the stance you want
Have you had any issues with these spacers? I wish they were made in America. I just got my set today. Approx how many miles you got on them before you got rid of the truck brother?
Still use them today with no issues! Over 20,000 miles on these spacers! Great product!
does it comprise the turning ration of the truck?
I just put 2” spacers on my 2019 ram classic. Love the look, and it’s just enough poke. Do you rub on the inner wheel well when turning full lock? I noticed on my truck when I’m at full lock I rub on the back side of the wheel well.
Yes.
Hi gorges.
Sorry I don’t recall who made the 1” spacers. However they were made by one of the more well known companies and made in US. Good luck James Jannell
I love my ko2's, best tires I bought instead of highway tires....nice truck
I’m in Michigan also, traverse city area and we use sand on our roads
Also same area and I swear I see salt everywhere
It’s like half night edition, half sport appearance group.
That's a beautiful truck, If I had that in Michigan I would grease the whole underside in axle grease! I think you need some short flaps to keep the rock chips an debris off the sides or film wrap some of the most vulnerable areas.
Now you're gonna need to check/ invest in some Fender Flares to keep that Salt and Rocks off the Side of Your Truck...In White or Black...Your Preference...Im doing the Same with My White 23' Ram 1500...Thanks for letting me know what it looks like now! Appreciate the Video.
Would be better off with 12.50 tires. I have 12.50 on my 2013 ram sport and I have about an inch all the way around sticking out but I dont live up north so it's not salty and nasty
Great look .Have mine 2 1/2 , lift. Chrome wheels 2 in.painted matching white studded wheel flares sport. Rams look super.....
Great job and video. Looking to do that in the near future on my truck! Nice truck!
Hey bro thanks for the video it was really helpful, I do have a question tho? I clicked on the link to purchase the spacer for my 19 ram and it says it’s not a fit? And how are the spacers holding up?
If you have a 2019 ram they used the common 6x 5.5, which the spacers in the link are 6.5.5 so they will fit.
can't believe they still make these dangerous shits
Looks great!! The threads and pitch on the spacer studs match the oem lug nuts on the ram??
Yes Sir!!
Def a must have, looks damn good. You know whats also a *must have* Jack Stands. Not knocking Harbor Freight, but you probably don't wanna bet your front end on a $68.00 floor jack.
Did you need to use a thin wall socket to get those lugs into the spacer? It seems like for mine I will need a thinwall since my normal sockets wont fit into the holes
Yes that is correct.
Clean truck man! Thinking about adding 2” spacers. Since my 7” lift my front spindles poke the front out a little further than the back. How are they holding up?
Holding up great! No Issues!
I live in royal oak mi, I’ve been thinking about do this to my 2019 ram 1500 midnight edition. Have you been driving this daily since you have put the 2” spacers on? If so, how does it ride?
It does look good BUTT the trade off isn't worth it. Front end wearing out faster,all the mud,rocks,stone chips!!! Flares and flaps would help but wreck the look. You'll know more after the winter good luck looks good.
Michigan boy here too! I just grabbed some 2’ for my ram and can’t wait to put them on. Do you have a link for the taillight covers?
They are not covers, I sprayed them with VHT Night Shades..
Will the spacers u used work for a 2020 ram big horn 6 lugs new design?? This is driving me crazy lol ...hope u can help brother
should use some blue lok tight on those spacers
Definitely looks better than having its stock
Does it have a leveling kit on it as well
Yes, 2.5"
I know you "like your stance." However, spacers are not safe, cause early ball joint failure and now you'll kick more muck up on your body than before. But whatever, it's your truck!
That and mud on windows scratches them up bad.
John i actually use my chevys four wheel drive all of the time. Stock stance stock height.. another gimmick..
Agreed, not safe at all, I have seen wheels actually fall off. Unfortunately Ram is not know for Beefy suspension components on the 1500.
OldPossum its probably a lease.
There isn't anything inherently unsafe about spacers unless you get ones that are garbage quality. Hub centric is a great plus to wheels spacers. Also using wheels spacers to move the wheel out has the same effect as the aftermarket wheels he put on it. Sure both will cause more wear than stock and so do bigger tires. It doesn't mean you can't go a really long time without replacing front end components. Yes you'll kick more up on the body and this is why I personally don't like "Stance".
Beautiful truck good job doing the work u did what size are the tires
You definitely need wheel flares. Plus you will be flinging crap up on the paint.
What size tire are you running on the stock wheels ??? Truck looks AWESOME 👌 !
285/60-20
How do the wheel spacers hold up, I want to do this but a little Leary, please help
Any suggestions?
I have 10 wides rn but planning on going back to my stock Laramie wheels which are 9 wide , but I am going to lift it 4 inch but want my stance to be wider than what you have right now I was hoping the 2 inch spacers would bring it out more than it did here .
Lots of faith in that floor jack bud. 😵 where's the jack stands?
What are those?? lol
what size tires are you running on those stocks??? clean truck my guy!!!!
285/60-20
ABSOLUTELY love the video very informative bro. By the way in this video, was your suspension also stock? I'm thinking of getting these spacers now.
No, I have a 2.5" leveling kit.
@DOOWORKPRODUCTIONS Thanks for the video, finally found a video with the same "stance" goal that I have. I recently bought a 2022 Dodge RAM 1500 Limited, and it has the AirRide suspension, which makes lifting it quite pricey. Did you do anything to the suspension, did you put any sort of lift kit on it? I'm sticking with my factory wheels, they're 20's, and I like the look of them, just don't like the stance, and I want a bit of an aggressive'ish tire. I love the look of yours with the spacer, and tire choice, just want to confirm if you've done anything to the suspension. I'd really appreciate any insight you can give.
Respectfully,
Nitro
Did you have any issues with your tires rubbing the fender? I just bought some 2" spacers but haven't installed them yet?
Nope.
Good video. The 35's on my ram rub pretty bad, do you think wheel spacers would make them rub less? I have a leveling kit but they still rub :(
Wheel spacers would make them rub more..
@@DOOWORKPRODUCTIONS ok thanks for responding
Do you still using the 2" hub centric on your ram ? If so. How they holding up?? Thanks.
I have factory rims and I like the setup I had them powder coated black and put some more aggressive tread tires on there I’m adding a 2.5” spacer does anyone know if it will rub while turning or it it ok on factory rims and tire size
For me i leave the way i bought it.. It may need a wheel alignment?
Looks good. You must have a 2 inch level kit up front? What is the BFG tire size??
Thanks, Yes, 2.5" Moto Fab Leveling Kit. Tires are 285/60-20
Dude your truck is clean af ... I’ve got a 2017 ram sport with a summer set up of Moto Metal 962 wheels -44 offset. Wrapped in 33 x 12.5s love it.
Pulled them for the winter and wanted to do the same as you stock sport 20s with some decent snow rated tires.
Clicked the link for the wheel spacers and it said that won’t fit my truck on the amazon site. Is this true? I just want the same sort of set up you have for winter with spacers? 🇨🇦 Calgary AB
Yes they will fit, the amazon listing doesn't have the 2019 Rams in their system yet, but the bolt pattern is the same and they fit with no issues!
Looks good ill be getting them for my ram
How did you keep the front wheels from turning, while you torqued everything down?
Someone got inside and held the brake..
Looks great? Will there be any premature wheel bearing issues with having spacers on it?
Nahhh
Isnt it funny how haters will bitch about your comments (opinions) yet they swear that theirs is some type of law? Lmao. Nice truck. It’s yours and you may do as you wish.
With fender flares I would go with 2” but without I’m going smaller .
How have the wheel spacers held up? I know not all spacers are created equal.
Spacers have held up great!
Q- Do your tires rub at all after installing the 2 inch spacers?
I know this was forever ago, but do you recall how long the threads were? I'm trying to figure out if a 1" spacer with wheels with a 1" cut out in the back will be enough clearance so I don't have to cut threads. Thanks!
That will not be enough. You need a 2" spacer if you don't want to cut your studs.
how are you dealing with the rubbing on the inside bar?
I was just checking videos out before I add it on to my ram wanted to see what it looks like.. I like the way it looks on your vehicle.. I’m going to order a set tonight😎👍
On the product links it says 78.1 but for the Rebel is 77.8 center bore. Will still work without any vibrations?
Does the spacers put stress on the ball joints? Thanks
I haven’t had any issues as of yet, and I have 3,000 miles on this setup.
Sharp looking truck. I love the white on black. My titan xd is the same color scheme, looks so sharp.
There was no stud sticking out with the spacers on? I tried 1.5 and I’m running wheels with no back pockets so I’m looking to have them sit flush
If you run the 2" spacers you don't run into that issue..
Do they make them in 5 lug? I want to install them in a 2019 ram classic hemi
They make spacers for every pattern. Just bought some for my 2007 Dodge Ram with 35s, too wide and the control arm was cutting into my new tires.
Now you can get rock chips on the mirrors!
Since I discovered stance on trucks there's no way I could be without it, it's like diet coke compared to real coke! No stance = boring..
Simon Vance some people go way overboard and it looks awful. This ram is as far as could go without looking dumb imo
Truck looks great!!! Where are the tail light covers from? I can’t find them for the new body....
Thanks, and actually I spray tinted the taillights with VHT nightshades..
Thanks!!!
I have a 2019 Blackout with the 20 inch Five spokes. I ordered these and tried to install and they do not fit. They are very close but the lip is barely to big. I got one on but I had to use a rubber mallet to get the wheel back off.
Weird.. Mine went right on..
@@DOOWORKPRODUCTIONS Yea, I was super excited to get these on but I noticed as I was pulling the nuts on it wasn't going on easy. Then I had a bad feeling I wouldn't be able to get the Rim off and I was completely right. I had to use a rubber mallet and about 30 minutes of banging the rim to get it off. You can see on the lip of the spacer where the rim grabs it. It is literally only a hair to big but it's enough not to work.
Wanted to order but the link states the spacers are for chevy, etc and doesnt like 2019+ ram 1500 as option that fits 🤷♂️… pls advise? Tks
They will fit, same bolt pattern..
How have the spacers been holding up? Please respond because I plan on installing mine today. Also did you have to apply the wheel brake while installing the spacers so your wheel wouldn’t spin?
Spacers have held up great! And yes I did on the front...
Do you think he told the dealership that 51000 sticker was fair and then paid it.
Love your videos, the Amazon link takes me to a wheel spacer for Chevy product. Is that the correct one? Thanks again and keep up the great work. I just did a 2.5 level and it looks killer
Yes that is the correct link. Chevy shares the same bolt pattern now being that the 5th gens went to a 6 lug..
@@DOOWORKPRODUCTIONS Really appreciate it. Have you had any issues? Tire wobble etc?
@@lancegriffin2496 No issues at all!
@@DOOWORKPRODUCTIONS very nice truck..looks awesome.i have a 2011 larimie ram crew cab 4x4 can u tell me which spacers are good and how do i torch them sorry im newbie to this
Love this truck!!!!. Good job, bro. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the support!
Is your truck a big horn sport? Just wondering what to look for that has the painted front end and led lights.
I really like what you did here. Did you run into any issues at all with the spacers? I've heard good and bad things about spacers. Thanks
No issues
Quick question maybe someone can help. I have a 2017 ram 1500 I bought the same 2 inch spacers and I did all that was said and it runs great until I reach 70/75 mph And then I start to hear a chatter noise no vibration or anything just a chatter but if I go below 70 it stops does anyone know?
Those look good!
how are your spacers holding up at this point in time? I'm thinking of 2" spacers myself now
They are holding up great! I have about 5,000 miles on the set up and no issues! 10/10 recommend!
Dude... small world. Are you at the quarter car wash in Waterford west of the airport??
Yes lol
I have a question for you, I see that you are running BFGs 285x60r20. Did you have to trim anything. I have a 2019 Laramie that I will be running same tires but 285x65xr20. Question is with running that size tire do you think I will have to trim some of the wheel flares because of running.
Just need alittle help
No trimming needed..
Awesome Job Sweet Set Up ! Thanks For sharing not many do 💪🤜🤛
Looks awesome man.. do u recommend a thread lock on the adapters? Just bought some 20x9's and after the level goes in this is next..
Thanks, and yes!
