Guys would I have to raise the front end to level to run the 285/75/16 at3 tires. I like them and mit go bigger when I change. Mine are 235 on the dually.

I have those adapters on from Fred, they weigh a lot! And they are super tight on the hub too. I had to pull the axles out, slide them on, then reinstall the axles.

FYI i have went over the scale at a hay sale weighing 40k. Hub spacers are doing fine. I would highly recommend those for people looking for spacers.

All you have to do is grind the axle just a little for clearance I didn't need to touch the bolts.

Pjnadon, thanks for the reply. I didn't really want to raise the front end to install the larger tires unless absolutely necessary.

The only time you need to do the bolts is when you pull the axles the bolts get turned and the part that you grinded isnt on the edge any more then they get in the way for pulling the spacers
