I'm considering wheel spacers for my jeep.

Any one have suggestions
Opinions

Not familiar with them so any input would be great.

Spidertrax are the most popular ones. There are several that make them and all are fairly close in price.

Spidertrax are generally what is recommended. I have had a set for 4 years now and wheeled a lot on them. I personally am using the 1.75" kit though

This is the JK kit. Just be warned that these are sold by the pair, not a set of 4.

I have used Synergy spacers with my stock tires with no issues. They're very much like the spidertrax but a bit cheaper.

Keep an eye on the spidertrax website. Occasionally they have "blems" for sale. I got my 1.5" ones for 79/pair instead of 99 and 2 of the 4 have anodizing issues, and the other two look perfectly fine. In the 12k they have been on the rig I've had no issues.

I have had both spidertrax and synergy. The only reason I went with synergy this time around was because they were anodized red. The only difference I have noticed so far is that the red anodizing is starting to fade a little bit, that didnt happen with the blue on the spidertrax. As long as theyre installed correctly, I doubt the brand really matters.

I ran spidertrax 1.5 spacers for 20K never had any issues. Went through the rubicon twice with them as well.

Doubly this.

G2, teraflex and many others make 1.5" spacers. I've heard of people who have broken several sets of spidertrax. I have heard of people who have wheeled 10k miles on the Chinese Amazon brands. I personally used G2 spacers until I got new wheels with proper offset.

What it comes down to is making sure that you install them correctly. Apply anti-seize to the hub, use a torque wrench and RED threadlocker on the studs, and use the torque wrench on your wheels as normal. Generally it is a 2 person install as you'll need someone to step on the brake. Just like with a tire rotation, make sure to torque the wheel spacers after about 100 miles as well as after any major wheeling trip.
