    There are also 1/4" spacers that fit simply behind the wheel which can make a big difference on tire rub.

    So, they are simply individual spacers then?

    Just make sure you have enough wheel stud length when using spacers like this...

    :D I was wondering if they were specially shaped or something but I guess I was overthinking it. Just a thin spacer as Doug shows makes sense. ;)

    Hello all!!! I have been doing a lot of testing at the new Apple AC2 site in Sunnyvale, CA, and have had little to no time to be in here. Good to be back, albeit for a night or two.

    I have 31-10.5-15 tires on my CJ-5 with a Dana 25 front end. I had to adjust the turn stops. Took five minutes and I haven't noticed any real difference than I had before, as far as steering is concerned. Might be an easy fix for you. I have Mickey Thompson "Baja Claws" with side biters on them. The first time I drove it, after they were installed and made a sharp turn, I thought there was something terribly wrong with front axle. It was just the side biters trying to take out my front suspension.
