My concern with the Spidertrax is that they list their spacers as being " anodized in dark blue, using a double anodizing process for twice the corrosion resistance" but they don't list the type of aluminum used. Whenever you're putting aluminum against steel you're asking for corrosion so a high quality aluminum is important in this application, in my opinion anyway.
If I can get a known high quality aluminum spacer without having to pay for the brand name on another spacer, I'm going to do that all day long. That's my stance on it anyway!

Wheel Spacers
I read the thread on here were the RC were tested by a lab and did not in fact meet the specs they stated. I would not be surprised if a Chinese company did the same which is I am guessing where RR come from. I think some things are worth paying more for and wheel spacers are one of them. I realize you are in the business of selling products that your company sells so we will look at things differently, which is ok that is what forums are for.

Their spacers are also made of 6061-T6 aluminum.
The 30$ price difference is probably due to the fact that the RC aren't made in the USA.
XTRyan do you know where are made the RC spacers?

I haven't seen that test but I'm going to look it up. Yes, we are in the business of selling parts but I don't recommend anything I don't personally believe in. I was under the impression that the RC spacers were every bit as good as the Spidertrax spacers and cheaper. If that is not the case I want to know about it!
According to RC's web site
1.5-inch Wheel Spacers for Jeep JK Wrangler, XK Commander, WK, WJ Grand Cherokee [1091] | Rough Country Suspension Systems
Their spacers are also made of 6061-T6 aluminum.
The 30$ price difference is probably due to the fact that the RC aren't made in the USA.
