2017 Spacer Set Up

Hey yall I’ve got a 2017 f250 and I’m looking to buy spacers for it. It is on 2” readylift level kit and 37x12.5x20 trail graps. I want it to have a more aggressive stance than it does now. Can anybody that has the same set up with spacers show me some pictures as some inspiration? Thanks

You want to see where it rubs on radius arm with no spacer, and then where it rubs on the fender by the door, with spacer, son's '22 has 3.5" leveling kit and it rubs, 37(Nitto mud graps) on fender.

Mine does rub but only on the upper control arm at full right. Adding spacers would only lessen the rub I would think. I’m just looking for pictures of trucks as inspiration.

You're talking wheel spacers?

Spacers are never as strong nor as stable as the OEM offset. I'm just saying. Here is how I use mine.
I ordered two sets of 1/2" aluminum spacers to use with my OEM aluminum wheels. There isn't much stud threads left, especially on the front, so that combo is no good. I do however use them on the rear with only the OEM steel wheels. This allows the F-250 center caps to clip onto my F-350.

Aight! My son's 22 King Ranch, rubbed on radius arm, at full turn, even with 3 1/2" level kit, put 1" spacers on rub stopped on radius arm, and went to the fender by the door, rubbing on both sides.

??Hmmm, my son's spacers have studs, not just a spacer that causes you to lose, threads? see pic

A 1/2" spacer is a slip on spacer, leaving a limited amount of threads. I think a 3/8" slip on is about as thick as I would consider going. That's probably also the sweet spot, keeping the tires off the radius arms and off the fender.

The bolt on spacers like your son used require cutting of the factory studs for spacers below a certain thickness. If his are 1" I bet he had to cut his studs down. To avoid that I think it requires something closer to 2"(?).

With all that rubbing going on I don't know if it's NASCAR or something erotic going down, LMAO!
