Default Rough Country 1 1/2" wheel spacers

Hey guys,

I recently ordered (4) 1.5" spacers from RC but was sent 1 1.5" spacers in error. Would anyone explain to me the cons of actually running the 1 1.5" as opposed to the 1.5" ones. The guy at RC was a dick when I explained that they had sent the wrong spacers, he also told me that RC does not have a 1.5 spacer even though the Ebay ad was for the 1.5" .
Bottom line would you run these with the 17" Rubi's w/35's?

Horrible after the fact that I stated he was incorrect, knew I should of just dealt directly with Ben from RC. Now I have to ship em back at my expense, wait for the new ones and pay the damn duty fees again.

Thats BS. They shipped you the wrong parts and YOU have to pay for the return? I'd find a new company to do business with.

I've tried to get customer service from RC concerning leaky steering stblzrs. I never even got a response back. I don't like to black ball any jeep part companies, but from my experience with RC, or lack there of, I will not buy anything from them any more.

Hey guys if you have need of service let me know...all it takes is a pm and maybe a phone call to get things done. As for the wheels spacers we def have 1.5" wheels spacers for JK's. Matter of fact that's all I have for the JK bolt pattern of 5 on 5. What size spacers were you trying to aquire?

Ko260: If you have some leaking cylinders just shoot me a pm. We'll get you some out straight away.

Also don't wory about shipping those back. Normall we would call-tag, but that is not an option in Canada. Shoot me a pm about your spacers. I would like to make sure what it is you are looking for.

Hey Ben, problem corrected with no extra fee's having to be paid out. Appears the warehouse sent the wrong order in error and someone got my 1.5" and I got spacers for a Chevy lol. I spoke with Joey at RC who was very helpful, everyone makes mistakes and I hold no bad feelings though Joey laughed when I said send me a RC windshield decal for the trouble .
Thanks for offering your help though, I as well as others appreciate it.

I have to say.. I am very happy with everything from Rough Country! Not just because they are in my home state. Every mod part on my JK is from them so far! As a matter of fact the shop I work for is attempting to become a dealer, that's how happy we are! Another guy there has all RC products on his YJ! We are very satisfied. So far my JK has:

RC 3.25" inch lift
RC 1.5" wheel spacers
Quick discos
Stubby bumper caps

Keep up the good work fellas!
