Default Rough Country 1.5 Wheel Spacers?

Anyone running these? Any issues?
They are about half the cost of the spidertrax...

I've been running them for over a year and a half and I've thrown every kind of trail at them with lots of highway driving in between and I have had zero issues. I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.

Just because something costs more doesn't mean its better.

Thanks for the reply. Thats what I figured. I guess I'll pull the trigger on these tomorrow. Unless someone has some negative to say before then.

I have never used spacers, so I don't have any personal reviews to give...

But this is some interesting reading that may help:

Your right those were some interesting threads. I did learn a few things. I'm not really sure where I stand now. I do know that I will only be running 33's and I don't get to wheel that much. If I ever went any larger I would just buy new wheels also. If I could find just one person that had trouble with the RC's I would be more concerned. I can see both sides of the arguement. I'll have to think on it a bit.

I run them with no problems and would buy them again. This was the 1st time I've used wheel spacers and feel very secure with them. Though I did add 'lock tight' them on (acorn nuts, not lug) and recheck the torque a couple of times.

Search long enough and you'll find a failure by every manufacturer in the market. A lot of the time the failure is caused by the installer failing to follow proper instalation instructions and torque specs. As long as you take care of your Jeep and do regular inspections after wheeling you'll be fine. Don't sweat it, if you have any issues RC will back their product with no questions asked.
