Recommended wheel spacers for running 2006+ Wheels?

Eventually, I will get a hold of the late model axles and suspension... But I'd like to stage the upgrade and stretch it out to spread the costs.

Since my tires are getting to the end of their life, I'm going to pick up some 17+ inch wheels off a later model truck. So I will need some 2 inch spacers...

I've read some complaints about some sold on Amazon and eBay. Some people have fit issues over the hubs.

Can anyone suggest a good set of spacers that fits properly and is of good quality?

I would prefer hub centric and 6061-T6 aluminum, unless anyone can offer compelling arguments against those options.

I am interested in the spacers if they are 2" and you don't already have some one that wants them. Thanks!

After trying a couple of different sets of Aluminium spacers from eBay, I failed and went with this forum's advice to get the 2" steel spacers from Fred @ Wheel Adapter. These are made to the best quality with excellent fit & finish. I would advice you to call them directly and talk to them about your application. They will send out the perfect set. There are some details about the swap on my EX here - https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...decisions.html

You can read more about Fred and order the set from here:
