Default Rough Country Spacers

So far, all my suspension mods have been Rough Country and I am quite pleased with the price to quality ratio.

RC now has wheel spacers, which are something I am considering getting when I go to upgrade my Tires (and retain my sahara wheels). What are the technical differences between Spidertrax, Terraflex and now RC for wheel spacers?

i haven't had a chance to handle a set of RC spacers so i couldn't tell you for sure. however, the price of them is significantly lower that's for sure.

Someone on here said that they are not "hub centric" like the spidertrax, but I'm not sure of that myself as I haven't seen them in person...

Just went to live chat and you are correct....NOT hub centric. What exactly does this mean anyway?

means they are lug centric and and use the studs to center the spacer. You just have to take your time putting them on and tighten bolts gradually in a star pattern.... hubcentric just slap em on tighten and go

Well...I couldn't resist. Spidertrax has four pair of their spacers on their ebay outlet (blems) for $80 shipped, so I snagged two. Whoever is reading this thread might pop over and snag the other set. $160 and you get free shipping and full warranty.

not bad it would run about $225 for a set of 4 shipped normally
