I have a 6 inch lift with 37X13.5X17 inch tires and they rub the leaf springs during a sharp turn. Was thinking of getting wheel/tire spacers and was wondering if anyone had used them on their truck. If so can you tell me what size and what you think of them. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I have 1/4" spacers on my 97 F350 and have had no problems. Just make sure you have plenty of stud left for your lug nuts. My tires used to hit the front springs and the drivers side chrome molding inside the wheel well. I also cut the front bumper for more clearance.

I wouldnt use them but thats just me. How do you like those tires? Do they ride good and last a while?
I like the tires so far. Hardly any road noise. I have only had them for about three months, but so far so good.

Where did you get your spacers from and how much did they cost?

I got them at the local speed shop and can't remember how much. I can't believe they could be more then 10 bucks each. Its better than cutting a tire or breaking something.
