2019 RAM 1500 2" WHEEL SPACER INSTALL! *MUST HAVE*

[@dsim3211]

Looks great! Ive got 1.5" spacers on my Ram 2500 4wd and no problems for 2 years so far. I've towed 10k lbs with them on the truck.

[@theurbanartist775]

dsim3211 that’s the answer I’m looking for. I ordered some on eBay for $80 hubcentric. I’m afraid to install them because I tow a lawn trailer everyday. They’re 2”

If you do it carefully, shouldn't be any issues, remember, you got to torque the spacers as well, so same thing just nice and slow 😉

Looks good do you have a lift or level kit on your truck?

[@Karen-yk8ez]

Makes it easier but you don’t necessarily have too

[@justinober938]

Had spacers on my F250. They lasted about 9 months. Then on a long ride home, the front passenger spacer caused 7 out of 8 lugs to break. They almost killed me. I was doing 70 mph when they all broke at once. And yes I torqued them to specs, twice and used blue lock tight. Sure looks great! But if you want a wider stance, ditch the spacers and invest in wider wheels.

[@DirtNassty]

So they weren't hub centric spacers lol.. Bora hub centric spacers are perfectly safe and will not sheer studs if installed properly

[@influxvision]

I think it will be a good Idea to put some anti seize compound in between steel and aluminum, just in case you plan to remove them later, also on mine, I put some blue lock tie and torque it to 120 ft/p, just my preference. Looks really nice with 2" mine is only 1.5" but I think It looks sick too.

i just went from 1 to 2 inch spacers on my 2008 ram 1500 and i really like the stance. just fyi i had a welder weld a flat piece of steel on under both rear lower shock mounts to give me an easy place to jack up rear tires

Every one jumps on the “tie rod” “wheel bearing” band wagon. I’ve done the 2” spacers and a 3”/2” level! OMG my shit should be flapping on the ground? Wrong, 62,000 miles still solid as day 1. Love the look, dislike the spray, but I get free car washes for life, and dealer is 1.5 miles from me.

[@billypate2479]

Seriously it puts a lot of stress on wheel bearings, I've seen it be better off to buy off-set aftermarket wheels instead of "shade-tree" Mechanic spacers.

[@Wickhaven1]

My stock F150 wheel bearing went out at 38,000 miles. I tow a 3000 lb boat, and a 4000 lb landscape trailer all the time. Agreed, I believe stuff will wear out quicker. However guys will have you believe your shit will break within a few miles. At 62,000 miles I see no issues developing that would cause me concern. I have no reason at this time to believe any wear is occurring whatsoever. I do not off-road. I have however gone over a few wagon trails.

[@mpmagnussen]

Must have....If you like door chips. Scratched fromt windows and dings from rocks and salt. I run 22x14s in the summer months and as soon as the salt flies i sqap to the factory 20s on my 17 f250. Inlearned on my previous 15 that when the salt and road debris gets thrown up the sides of the truck it totals the paint and gets stuck in the window mould and scratches the windows when youbroll them down. Wheels pokin out and winter are a terrible combo

[@DOOWORKMOTORSPORTS]

I have to agree with you, but I like the way it looks so it is what it is lol

[@resdawgs]

I have a pointer for you man. You should have put anti seize grease between the spacer and the hub since you live in a cold state like me reason being is they can get siezed up. But it looks great man. I will be doing this when i get a chance.

[@nosherwan5]

OpTic 67 300 I like the no mud flap look but paint will get beat up like you said. Paint protection film on the lower portion of the truck would be the solution.

[@johnmacauley6391]

Great look .Have mine 2 1/2 , lift. Chrome wheels 2 in.painted matching white studded wheel flares sport. Rams look super.....

[@BIGBADWOOD]

Wheel spacers can cause accelerated wear on suspension and hub components because of the added stress that they place on parts that were designed to certain tolerances by the manufacturer. Because the wheels are further from the hub, more stress is placed on the wheel bearing, hubs and/or axles, potentially causing these parts to fail prematurely. Heavier Steering Depending on the size of the wheel spacers, the steering will potentially become heavier. The wider track means that more effort is needed to turn the wheels, which can make it more difficult to turn the steering wheel. Again, this is dependent on the width of the spacer. A small, ¼-inch width spacer will not have as much effect as a 1- or 2-inch spacer.

[@lancegriffin2496]

Agreed and many folks do offset rims as well and they cause the same issues. But it looks good and you gotta pay to play.

[@calvinh.8882]

It looks great, but the front hub assembly bearings and ball joints won't last long with those spacers on there. Maybe 10k miles before needing to be replaced. I know from experience. But it looks great while they last.. And I would have torqued them down at 120lbs. Maybe drive on them for about a week, and then re-torque them. They're aluminum so just like new aluminum wheels, they should be re-torqued after driving on them. I always do it at around 1000 miles.

[@4406bbldb]

Amateurs but atleast hes trying. What's the recommended torque for the stud, not your suggestion of torque. Aluminum changes shape between hot and cold. So can hurt parts when hot and fall off when cold. I know I write terrible but don't overtorque and check them a couple times. Happy winter.

[@calvinh.8882]

@@4406bbldb , I believe the owners manual for the new RAM 4x4's says the torque specs are 130flbs. and I would torque them when the temps are well above freezing and he wont have any issues. Most aluminum wheels have steel inserts that the lugnuts tighten down on, but those spacers do not. And I have dealt with a lot of aluminum spacers and I have always torqued them to 120flbs. and I've never had any issues. If it was below freezing and he torqued them to 120flbs. and it warms up, the aluminum may expand a little, but forged aluminum that is over 1/2 thick isn't going to fluctuate much at all.

[@4406bbldb]

@@calvinh.8882 hypothediclly if he took off for the U.P . after installing with his recommended torque and had a horrible accident could you defend the choise in court? Really I don't think there is any problem, just refer to manuals for safety stuff so you do cause a problem. No problem.

@@4406bbldb , If he or anyone else does work on their own vehicle and something they did or didn't do caused a crash, then it would be their fault. And if he referred to his manual then he should have torqued them at least 30flbs more than he did. That is why I posted my first comment saying I would have torqued them to 120flbs.

1inch keeps it tucked (can lower 1inch to save 5%gas) or raise it to kill 40% oddly, 2inch makes its right with rolled fenders, 3inch makes it a bulldog but needs 2" flare. Not sure with spacers but I'm assuming air foil is different from catching tires for MPG. When appeal takes a back seat to MPG i question things....

[@JsGarage]

There isn't anything inherently unsafe about spacers unless you get ones that are garbage quality. Hub centric is a great plus to wheels spacers. Also using wheels spacers to move the wheel out has the same effect as the aftermarket wheels he put on it. Sure both will cause more wear than stock and so do bigger tires. It doesn't mean you can't go a really long time without replacing front end components. Yes you'll kick more up on the body and this is why I personally don't like "Stance".
