Wheel Spacers?
I lifted my truck 6" and the kit said my wheels had to have 5" backspacing or less. My stock wheels are 6 3/4 so when I turn all the way either way the wheels rub on the steering rack. Can I use some 2" wheel spacers until I can get the rims and tires I want? Also where can I get them.

no...and I cannot stress that enough. The stock lugs aren't long enough, nor are they strong enough to take that kind of stress.
You might get away with doing a set of wheel adapters though. There are a few guys on the Durango forum I frequent that use wheel adaptors as spacers.

those may work...and they are installed on a 5,500 lb vehicle. They've had 0 issues so far. I would just be very leary about using them in conjunction with oversize tires and a lift kit
