- Had to add spacers between the dually tires as the new Maxxis TRXUS side treads were rubbing against each other. Highly recommend Bora spacers. Lifetime warranty, easy to install. Here are the tires used with spacers

Super Swamper TrXus Tires - amzn.to/35bTSOi
Sooo I’ve noticed nobody has mentioned to make sure when buying spacers, to make sure your factory lug nuts has the same tread pattern as the spacers. I learned the hard way.
Lol same here
Thanks. Good vid. Short, sweet and to the point.
Whats that i paused your video and you have your inner wheel on and then same adaptor welded to it and now your are putting another adaptor on top of it is it correct otherwise hub centric adapter wont go on it
How does those super swampers last on that heavy truck?
I dont drive it much, so not bad for me.
How many inches of lift does the truck have? Thanks
6
Simple physics. Extending the wheels further away from the axle puts more stress on the studs, hubs, bearings.
No kidding, really?
Man i built a lot of cars and trucks, but there is no way i would put a spacer over another spacer, that spells trouble to me, and if they pass that at the inspection station i would be surprise
I have had zero issues. It won't pass inspection without them since the tires touch
Hahaha! Wash your hands! Good looking out. Thanks for the video I enjoy all of your content.
LOL. Thanks for watching Ryan
Would have like to see the a pic of the rig. And im curious what width of rim you have those mounted on. I have an opportunity to get some military 37 at a good price. But not sure if my stock wheels are wide enough. My rig is a 94 k3500 flat bed. Looking at trimming the front fenders and only adding the minimum lift required to clear the 37s. Thanks for the video, good info good explaining.
You can see the vehicle in some of my other videos
Use locktight and being a dully no it won't hurt bearings
It doesn't hurt bearings at all. This video is over 2 years old and there are zero issues.
@@VermontPrepper as I said
How close is your inner Tire to your leaf spring I'm having kind of the same issues but my leaf springs to close to my tire
The inner tire position did not move, so I have room. The spacers increase the space between first and second tire.
I’m having that issue right now my inner is touching the leaf spring
@@elisei9952put a 1/2 spacer to clear the leafs.
2" spacer?
Yes
Are you running a dually axil ?
Hi, yes it is a dually axle that holds 4 tires
@@VermontPrepper I wasn't sure if you went adaptor route vs an actual dually axel
It's a Dana HD70 dually axle
My inner tire is rubbing on the leaf spring any suggestions.?
I don't have a suggestion for the inner tire. What size are they? What axle?
I’ve been wanting to mount military 37s to my dually....How long have u been using them and how many miles?
Hi Hank. I only have 60k miles, so not a lot.
Vermont Prepper oh ok...how do you like them so far? What size/type of tire do you have on them
I have military 37s, but switched them out for Maxxis TRXUS since the military tires are horrible in the snow. Still could use a little more weight in the back
Vermont Prepper right on...I have 37 military’s on my 350 crew cab single wheel...I love em...I picked up a 350 dually I want to convert to 4wd and use the 37s. But I will pull a 5th wheel across country once a year, not sure if that weight and tire combo be ok with my family inside...
Sounds like a great rig
Hey is it possible to reply with the link that you purchased the spacers with?
Motorsport-tech.com. here's what I got.
Adapter - Hub & Wheel Centric BORA 2." 8x6.5 116.7 9/16 Studs & Lug Nuts
Why material are these
6061t6 billet aluminum, lifetime warranty
Would spacers like these work safely on a dulley motorhome safely?
They should as long as you check with the company to make sure it is rated for the weight.
@@VermontPrepper Thank You and Merry Christmas!
