Ive had spidertrax on mine for 7 months now and about 5000 miles. No problem at all and when I rotated my tires I checked torque and all lugnuts were tight on them.
Only thing I did which others may disagree with is put blue loctite on studs instead of red. I dont want issues getting them off when I need to get rotors off for brake work. They havent loosened so I guess theyre fine.

X2. I have 10k on the spidertrax spacers. ONLY get the spidertrax ones. Follow all the Instructions and check the torque every 5-7k. I wheel the shit out of my jeep with these on. Never had a problem. In fact it helps you off road. They are like feelers sticking out there for rocks and tire placement.

+1 Spidertrax & blue locktite...They come with red, but IMHO red is overkill...

I run SpiderTrax, but I just saw where Poison Spyder has some available too.

Northridge 4X4

Check with David at Northridge. They are a little cheaper (less expensive).

I love my Rough Country wheel spacers. They costed me $118 shipped to my door for all 4.

I've had them for over a year now and tey haven't loosened up yet. I check at every oil change, and used blue locktite.

I use Spidertrax 1.5" with red threadlocker, if you ever need to remove them it will be more difficult but it's not like you will be taking these off frequently. Whatever you use make sure it is hub-centric, dont use those dumb ones that's pretty much like a huge washer. My friend had those cheap pep boys spacers on his 350z and his studs snapped and tire was rolling down the highway lol

Use what ever brand you want. Install them properly and you won't have any problems.
