Ordered dual wheel spacers!
I've been running some alum 2" spacers on my truck for a while now and the feeling of breaking one has me a lil nervous! I saw on another post they make some steel ones that are hub centric with some minor modifications. I like the idea of these better plus they are steel. Plus I noticed after my last tire rotation I have a lil vibration, I'm thinking that one of the outer duals isn't centered just right and giving me this vibration. We'll see soon enough!

David,
I am curious (and apparently clueless as well...)
What is the purpose of wheel spacers and why are you using them? I have heard the term before but I am not sure why they are needed or desired.
Thanks for the education.

Thanks. Makes sense to me now... 
2" is a lot. I didn't think the wheel studs had that much extra length on there for something like that?

Yes I am. I called and talked to him this am and liked what he had to say. I know there are lots of alum spacers running out there it is just that "I" personally feel safer with my wheels being centered on a machined piece than on the lug bolts. Oh and by the way my spacers made a huge difference today at a job site. It has gotten real muddy round here the last couple days and where others were having problems with their duals clogging up and becoming one 24" wide tire, mine being spaces far enough apart allowed my tires room to clean out and dig a little to find hard ground!
I'll have a vid tommorow! I'll be watching 500 yards of concrete get poured I'm this slop hole!
