Suspension lift or body lift

[M1Gunner]

Look at the Formula 1 race cars - cars are about 14 feet long, and the track width is almost 8 feet wide, with a center of gravity of about 16-18" off the track. I think I read once that they are capable of about 6.5 G's laterally.

The ass end of my hoe, since I’ve installed the bolt on 2in spacers is night and day. It used to sway a decent bit but no in a suv sittin 11” of lift hit turns like I do in a stock hoe and don’t even think twice. I regret not doin those before I did.

I appreciate it! Don’t stress too much about the body lift and the engine. Here’s some before and after shots. Picked up two wheel well liners from the upull and extended mine. As far as the receiver in the rear it’s not terrible. Did you notice it in my previous pic?

That's a great idea for the wheel well, that really covers up the gap. I'm gonna try the norcal mod to see if it works or I'll just wait and get a 6'' lift after we move

I think any brand spacers will give the same look as long as you tighten them properly...this is what I'm using

Just went with Rough Country’s 2in bolt on spacers. I like they’re products and customer service so had to go with them.

I wouldn’t say perfect by any means but I greatly appreciate that brother, Thank you!

i really like the ranch hand for the tahoe, but they look weak on yukons. gotta love the white, black , and chrome color combo though

those spacers?^^^

Biggest thing with spacers is that they are hub centric. Our OEM wheels rest on the hubs of our vehicles. When you put spacers on that do not have hub centric rings on them, your transferring the weight of the vehicle on to the wheel studs.

So just make sure they're hub centric and bolt on

Correct. I'll also add that you get what you pay for. Don't want to cheap out on spacers that hold your wheels on

which brand spacers do you have?

I have eBay bolt on spacers. I had to cut my OEM studs down. Pretty sure I paid $120 for all four. Been on the truck for 4 years with out any issues.

do they seem pretty solid? i like bora spacers but 230$ for spacers is steep

I had read the reviews said people had issues with the spacer studs corroding and not letting the lug nuts come off without breaking the studs but I never had that issue.

Other than that, they are chunks of aluminum. Make sure you torque the hell out of the lugs that hold the spacers on. Not much can go wrong IMO.

 

[Countryboy07]

I have a set of trailsport spacers off of eBay. They are aluminum and come with detailed torque instructions. I've had mine on for around 37,000 miles with no issues. Every time I rotate tires, I check the torque on the spacers and they haven't backed off.

If bolt on spacers (even the “infamous” lug centric) we’re an issue/liability than tire shops would not service your vehicle which they do. Those slap on spacers though, complete different story, won’t touch them.

I’m gonna go ahead put this out there... some are gonna flip shit, whatever. Rough country 2in bolt spacers are LUG centric. I’ve put my truck through complete hell! And have never had any issues with driveability from Rough Country’s spacers. My hoe is not some pavement princess and still rides as smooth as a Cadillac on black top.

have you taken it off road with the spacers?

 

[M1Gunner]

have you taken it off road with the spacers?

Quite frequently, just went this past Saturday actually. And every time it gets back on the road it drives just like it did before, smooth as the next.
