Not sure where you got your price, but normally $99 is for 2 spacers, not a set of 4. Unless you are buying them used.

I am running a Rough Country BB (2.5" in front, 2" in back), Spidertrax 1.5" wheel spacers, and 35's on stock wheels. Have had no issues with rubbing anywhere so far, but I am going on a wheeling trip this weekend. We will see if I still have fenders after tomorrow ............

I like the Yokohama GEOLANDAR A/T-S tires

What size?
33 x 10 1/2 x 15
33 x 12 1/2 x 15

I have not purchased rims yet, but told 15" are much cheaper. Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance
be careful with 15's - trial fit them if possible as some rims may rub the caliper.

You change your mind in the future & get bumpers, winch.. Then your springs will sag and then you will need a coil lift.. but; based on what you are telling us, spacers will do you well for along time.
X2 on this...Coil Spacers are the best if you don't start adding weight. If you are adding weight...get new Coil Springs.
