Thank you for the feedback, everyone… I am changing my order to the adjustable lower control arms by synergy. I appreciate that little nudge over the edge of indecision.

One comment about spacers.....not sure about Colorado, but in Texas it's hard to find any tire shop that will touch a vehicle that has spacers on it, which makes getting tires balanced a drag. The other annoying thing is having twice the lugs to deal with any time you have to remove brake rotor for whatever reason. I wouldn't want a cheap ebay special, but wouldn't worry at all about a Spidertrax or Synergy.

The discount tire by my house already confirmed they will do everything with spacers... including installation!
their only rule is that they’re hub centric. They have no problem with the spidertrax.

thx for the heads up!

Well... I pulled the trigger on:




1) Rubicon Express 2.5" Lift w/ Monotubes

2) Teraflex Monster adjustable track bar

3) Synergy adjustable lca's

4) Bolt driver's side hi-lift mount

5) New hi-lift (mine had problems going down - old and worn out by someone else)

6) Spidertrax 1.5" Wheel Spacers

7) BFG KO2 All Terrains at 315/70/17




Can't wait to get this stuff installed!



Well... First, I have to wait for Santa to show up with his sled in August with all my parts. The TeraFlex Monster isn't supposed to ship until 08/13/2018. :( :( :(

Nice. Yeah I got my tires from Discount on Lincoln, by the Lowes. They had no issues with my spacers and I just recently had the five rotation. I watched the guy work and he even double checked the torque on the spacers. Since I bought the full package from them with the tire certificates it set me back zero dollars. I broke the tech off with a nice tip though after watching him bust his ass in our 90 degree weather.
