[@brandonclark7371]

Glad to see the use of a torque wrench and lock tight 👍 to those installing spacers, these steps are a must and don’t cheap out on the spacers!! The cost savings will be out the window when a wheel falls off!….

[@Donslife]

Good advice! No problems here

[@TingTingalingy]

Can one "cheap out" on spacers? Aren't they just solid metal?

[@paulharney1739]

Great video. We have the 2020 AT4 2500HD with 20" rims. Seems to be a good amount of clearance since the stock suspension is taller on the 20 then previous years. Love the wheel dip as well. Did not want to replace perfect rims just to black them out - great look!

[@alisjamed]

I have stock 20" rims and the 1.5" spacers do cause the tire to rub the skirt at stock height. Looks like stock tire on 20's is approx. 1" taller than the 18's. Any spacer less than 1.5" will require the stock studs to be cut. Darn.

[@Donslife]

Thanks for the insight!

[@JevonsLove]

Yaaaaa!!! Saskatchatoon for the win! Thanks for that man I think I’m gonna put 2” spacers on now after seeing that seems easy enough

[@4961Studebaker]

Revisiting this video as well as the hyper dip mod. Refreshed AT4 Arrives next week. GM only had two wheel options for the remainder of the year. Classic 18” like you have and one 20” I went stock 18. Keep at it. Been watching since you began.

[@Donslife]

You made a good choice in my opinion. They help with the off road look. The tires are a bit noisy though

[@jakjones3112]

Hello. I wonder if you have any thoughts on the added stress on suspension components and bearings? Seems to be only downside but no one ever talks about it

[@Donslife]

I have heard the same, but this is only my opinion…..Heavier wheels/setup than stock and as the weight is moved further from the hub, then yes I think it puts more stress on the components. Especially the bearings and other wearable parts. I think many people also replace their vehicles more frequently and leave the wearing out for someone else to deal with.

[@jakjones3112]

@@Donslife I think that’s a good point. Running 85 pound mud tires probably puts more wear on a suspension than a 50 pound stock tire and wheel with a 1.5 spacer

[@lukelivingston7157]

Update on my previous comment: I ordered a new pair (this one from the American Amazon location) and they fit excellent! Put them on this morning. Haven't been on the highway yet but driving around town seemed just fine. I ended up using medium lock tight though. Hope all is well Don! Keep going with this truck!

It's been a while since you have installed your spacers. Are they still on your truck? How do you like them? Have they given you any issues? Is there anything you would do different now? I'm thinking about getting some for my truck and trying to figure out what size I should get.

I have 20" wheels on my at4. What's your thoughts/idea on whether or not the tire would rub on fender if I add spacers?

[@Donslife]

Somebody on here told me they had a little bit of rub at full lock with the stock 20” but it might have been the 2” spacer. Mine is the 1.5”.

[@peachescjr]

Hey Don, in your opinion could you of gone with a 1.25 inch spacer and still had enough of a recess in the wheel to not have to trim any lugs? Many thanks

[@Donslife]

It might just fit but would be very very close. Some shaving of the lug tips might be in order

[@ChrisDIYerOklahoma]

Solid video! Thanks for showing us. I have a 2021 GMC Sierra AT4 (6.2L) and "went up" one size taller tire (275/70 R18)...about 1/2" taller vehicle height. Curious if these spacers will work and not rub? Right now (no spacers) no rubbing and smooth ride with the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 3 tires on all four corners. Thank you.

[@Donslife]

Hi Chris, I would take some gap measurements with your front wheels turned full lock left and right and see how much space you have if the wheel was moved outward. My suspicion is that you would have a little rubbing at full lock and/or when going down a curb/driveway while turning. It would depend on the spacer's size too of course.

[@bkimball9590]

Great Video! How much more dirt/mud does it throw up on truck with the wheels out 1.5"? thanks

[@Donslife]

At first that was a concern, but honestly when you look at the spray pattern from the dirt and road film, it isn’t bad at all. The steps and built in mudflap still catch most of it.

[@Donslife]

Congrats. Yes I still have spacers on. No issues and they won’t void your warranty unless they can be proven to have contributed to the failure of a warrantied part. So if your air conditioning stops working they can’t deny you warranty due to wheels spacers.

Hi Don...love your videos. I have the same wheel set up as you, however I have 285/70/18 tires. Do you think the size difference will create a rubbing problem with these spacers?? Thanks

[@Donslife]

Not 100% sure. Can you turn your wheels full lock and estimate if moving them outward 1.5” would still allow clearance?

[@KeithClausen]

@@Donslife I decided to go with 1.25" spacers to be safe or so I thought. Drivers side can turn full lock with no problem. Passenger side rubs the back upper mud flap at about a quarter turn. So I guess I'm going to do some alterations. I saw somewhere where they remove the bracket the mud flap bolts to give more room.

[@user-er8zi1ws4n]

Hey don, how often do you need to torque the spacers after re-torquing the first 500 miles?

[@andrewd9673]

Don, any chance you would be willing to temparily remove the spacer on one tire and measure distances to fender and compare to with spacer? I have same type tire as you, but on 20in rims and wonder how much change in clearance the spacer causes.

[@Donslife]

Hi Andrew, next time I have a wheel off I can measure for you. It should be exactly 1.5” more towards the fender. I measured mine when I planned for them. The stock 20” wheels have a Goodyear All-Terrain, the 18’s are wrapped with Goodyear Duratracs. So even if I measure for you, our tires might be a little different on the tread on the outer edges. You can send me an email or message in Instagram (info in all of my video descriptions) and I can let you know measurements whenever I take the wheel off again.

[@horacio_guerrero]

After all this time do you still recommend this cheap ones? Or you recommend the 1.5 Supreme Suspension form American Muscle? I’m not going off-roading, just daily driving.

[@Donslife]

I recommended hub-centric but I don’t have a favorite brand. I had extremely limited options in Canada at the time (no one had stock) so I tried these and I am happy with them

What do you do when there is a wobble in the steering?

[@Donslife]

Properly installed hub centric spacers wouldn’t contribute to steering wobble. Usually an unbalanced wheel is the culprit. Second, maybe a suspension component is out of spec or improperly adjusted.

The hub centric ring is critical and needs to fit snug.

@@Donslife yeah I got the same measurements. Maybe these are just a bad batch. I tired two of them on the same rim, both didn't snug up. Will be returning.

Don, I love your videos! I just installed the Rough Country 2" level kit on my 2019 AT4 1500. I have 35/12.5/20 tires on the factory wheels and the UCA's are REALLY close to the tire. Do you think adding spacers like this would help? If so, any additional advice you would give for this setup to ensure safety and maximum efficiency? Thanks!

[@Donslife]

I do think that the right size spacer or offset wheel (best option) will help. You can do some measurements with the wheel at full lock both ways and get an estimate on how far the edge of your tire can go (pushed away) from the vehicle if a spacer was installed. Just a guess, but something small would be adequate. The closer the center of the wheel stays to the factory intended placement is always the best and safest option.

[@dustinmatthews9037]

@@Donslife thanks for the response! I'm getting feedback on other forums that the upper control arms are pretty close to the tires on the AT4's straight from the factory (I never paid attention to this before). How close are yours and how close is "too close," in your opinion? Thanks

[@Donslife]

Mine with the spacers is about 2.25 inches. So stock anything over 0.5 inches is probably enough. Unless your tire’s sidewall compresses under a significant force and rubs the UCA, you are probably okay at that 1/2” gap or larger.

[@andrewfortier88]

The spacers help with control arm clearance but will decrease clearance at bumper and mud flap area when turning sharp

Dang! I bought the exact ones you did and I'm having some rubbing issues. Factory tires too, but mine is a 2019. Wonder if there's something different. I'm not convinced a leveling kit would resolve it either 😔

That’s odd. I haven’t had one rubbing incident

@@Donslife It's on the rear-most side on the plastic rock deflector. It's not too bad - I think I'm just going to grind it down a bit and problem solved. Love your videos, and hope you don't mind me stealing all your ideas 😁 If I do, I'll have the best looking AT4 in North Dakota!

Did you re torque the spacers ?

[@Donslife]

Yes. Drove for a few days, took off wheels, torqued the spacers (they were fine). Put the wheels on, then redid the wheels. 50-100km in between (30-60 miles).

@donslife I purchase these upon your recommendation for my AT$ and want to tell you about my experience. I drove on these for around 4k miles between oil changes. I rotate my tires every oil change. My truck only has 10k miles and is not a daily driver. I have not towed or driven aggressively. I followed the directions and hand installed them with a torque wrench. I went to do the fist rotation since these were installed and 3 of the wheel studs on the extender broke right off with NO effort. I was SHOCKED and pulled them off immediately. I inspected them further and see a few studs that are cracked. I have had these for about 8 months cause its not driven daily. I tried to reach out to the company SEVERAL times and they will not respond back. I have found several others with the same problem with studs breaking off. I would ask you tell you viewers about these issues and the company not following up on complaints.

[@Donslife]

I will leave your feedback here. I have 2 sets (Escalade and Sierra) in use and have not had this experience or any problems for that matter. I also didn’t recommend this product specifically. I demonstrated a proper installation of a product and shared its information.

[@angelf9800]

@@Leduan81 you should be fine to leave them until you take off a wheel (tire rotation for example)

Hey Don, I just bought the Richeer spacers (1.25) and in looking at the directions for the 9/16" stud it shows torque to 135-145 but your video has different numbers. Based on that spec, I plan to torque the spacer to the factory spec of 140 ft/lbs and then also torque the wheel to the spacer at 140 ft./lbs. Did you have some other instructions to work from or am I missing something? Thanks for your response my friend and keep up the good work.

[@Donslife]

Hey, I think the instructions that came with mine were 120lbs for the spacers to the hub and 140lbs for the wheels as per GM. I just torqued the fronts again recently after removing them to install shocks. The spacer nuts were all still secure too. I might still have the instructions that came in the box for mine. If I find them I will let you know. 140lbs would likely be okay for both sets.

[@AustinLeeckRacing]

Did you need to trim studs with the 1.25” spacers to fit in stock wheels?

[@bradlast9580]

I really like your running boards/steps. What brand are they?

[@Donslife]

Thanks! Brand is GMC. Sierra is stamped right on them. Limited availability now due to production issues I guess. Chevy has/had them too. They are a 2021 build option but I think they are removed until they can fulfill orders. I almost didn’t get mine. The dealership had to take them off of another truck.

Zero whatsoever. Towing 5000lbs today a few hours so when that video gets posted I will let viewers know if something came up.
