What's the set up u got there? And would the spidertrax spacers also work with the 16" stock steelies? I have those and the 17" rubis(moabs) and really can't justify a third set!

 

I've been running teraflex spacers for 2years and no problems !!!! just retorque every 5k miles ..

 

Yes. I have used my spidertrax on 16" steelies, rubicon take offs and mopar 17" steelies (currently on jeep) with no problems...

 

I bought a used set and no problems after 3k and just checked them. Question??? Retorqueing? Should we take nuts off and reapply loctite when retorqueing?? Mine didn't budge, so technically the loctite would still be intact.

Note: spacers do the job and look a lot better than having my tires countersunk in the wheel well!!! Just need my 35's!! Eta cpl weeks when uncle Sam sends my $$$ back!!

 

Retorqueing should be done with less force than what's called for (maybe 5ft/lbs less), and if nothing moves, you're good. If anything moves, you should remove the bolt(s) affected and reinstall.

If you use the same force to retorque that you used to install, you are more likely to separate/break the loctite

 

Retorqueing should be done with the same torque value originally used. Loctite has a breakaway torque and a prevailing torque. Even if you were to exceed the breakaway torque ( not likely) the prevailing torque would prevent the hardware from backing out. If you clean the hardware properly and apply the loctite properly, a retourque should not be needed. I recommend using loctite n- type primer as well.

 

This is making rethink my future set up! Great info guys!

 

According to the install instructions provided by Spidertraxx the retorque is 5 lb-ft less than the original spec. If i recall its 90 and 85. I'd have to double check the exact numbers but it is less.

And to the OP, love my Spidertrax. They saved me a ton of money on aftermarket wheels that i really didnt want to buy to begin with. I like my factory wheels and wanted to keep them.

 

Question: How do you like your shocks? Monday I am getting the Fox 2.0's installed with a 2" BB and spacers. Would you mind sending me a pic?

Thanks in.advanced

 

sounds like Spidertraxx FTW. I'll get some ordered.
