Re: 2" Spacers need for sure!
I just order the cheapest set I could get off ebay. I did look for USA made ones but honestly they were cheaper than the china retailers or the USA retailers That I am pretty sure selling china goods.

Re: 2" Spacers need for sure!
It's strange the front on my 96 txt was narrower after the lift. Of course I guess it could of been the replacement axle was narrorer? I didn't measure it before so I have no refference. I put 1.5" spacers on the front to get it to equal the back.
All the spacers are basically the same except some have more metal taken offf...have just noticed this on the china ones. But they all bolt onto hub and wheel bolts to them. |

Re: 2" Spacers need for sure!
Yeah the TXT I did was about the same but the spindles push the fronts out pretty good. The RXV needs as much as it can get to make it more stable at high speed anyway. Might actually get a 1" for the front and 2.5-3" for the rear to make it even wider.

I looked at site sponsors and I beleive they were close to 3x the price. I too like to support them when I want but 3x the price for the same thing is a little much. That said if you have seen my posts I refer many people to scottyb and praise his service when ever I can. |

Re: 2" Spacers need for sure!
Well I measured and 2" is going to make them stick out WAY to far... I'm either going to do a set of 1" in the rear which will make them pretty much even, or do the 1" up front and 2" in the rear to make the whole thing wider.

Re: 2" Spacers need for sure!
And NO not all spacers are the same. I ordered a set off eBay for my '15 Mustang and they were supposed to be "hub centric" Well they were but they weren't very "centric" if you ask me! The car bounced like you wouldn't believe!!! I could stick my head out the window and watch the wheels move up and down...

Re: 2" Spacers need for sure!
Yes I would agree quality and craftsman ship can vary. There also is a huge difference between high speed car vehicles and golf cart. Now if it's that bad you can see the wallop you will deffinitily feel it at 20mph.
