Did you put your 1.5” spacers on your stock LT275/65x18 tires/rims?

Just get some B.O.R.A. spacers.  They are the good standard.  Keep in mind you will have to cut off some material in the fenderwell/liner/mudflap areas to run 1.5" spacers with stock wheels.  There will be considerable contact.

Looking to see what Anthony used because he didnt have to trim lugs. 

BORA

 

The brand of the spacer doesn't determine if stud trimming is needed or not - the thickness of the spacer and the specific wheel you use does.

 

You can do 1/4" or less or 1.5" or more with factory wheels and avoid stud trimming.

1.5" Coyote spacers.  No lug trimming due too grooves already machined into the 18" rims

Fly did you machine the grooves for this work? I have the same rims. Or were the rims already stock grooved enough for the install. Also did you have to cut your fenders fly? On my truck I did the rough country 2" levelling system custom designed for trail boss on top of the stock level. They say its like 4 inch but looks lower.

 

Anyways just trying to find spacers where I can get away with the least cutting and trimming. None is preferred. 

 

Is 1.5" kinda the best option? 

 

Does anyone have a link to the bora product? 1.5 inch

 

Does anyone have a link to the coyote product in 1.5 inch

 

Looking to do zero cutting. I have the same stock rims as fly.

 

Thanks. 

 

Also thanks lapoolboy

Hey Justin1983.   Rims  grooved on back side so no worry there.  Did not pay too much attention to how much the studs stuck out past the spacers but weren't much.  No other mod at all.   Had to go get a bigger torque wrench though.

I stayed with factory tires.   I really like how the 1.5 gives me the look I was after.   I think 2" would be just a little too much, but that is my opinion for what I like.   I went with Cayote due to immediate availability and price plus good reviews.   Nearly went with BORA  though.   Also good review, just had a lead time of about 3 weeks and quite a bit more in price.  

These are 2 places I found the spacers.   I got my Coyote from American Trucks.

How much trimming/removal did you do to get rid of the rubbing?

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
