3" wheel spacers

We sell tons of them, usually to guys that are doing IFS swaps using early front axles that need to make up for the difference in widths from the IFS width rear to the narrower early model fronts. But in the year and a half ive been here I have never heard negative feed back on them.
 
Dana used to make some for Ford dually fronts I think, I got a set from Redd here-- they're 3", and BURLY. Basically an auxiliary hub, really. Thick cast, ribbed.


I wouldn't trust aluminum spacers that thick.

That would make there front axle 3 inches wider than rear..people use 1.5 spacers for what your talking about
 
I am running 2" adapters on by Explorer, no issues at all with them other than when I had a flat I had to have the wife hold down the brakes to get the spacer off to put the spare on.
 
I have used them for at least 5 years, highway, off-road, with hydraulic assist. I also have 5 in backspaced rims, so it makes it the same as the people running 2 in backspaced rims. I have them locktighted and check the torque from time to time, though they have never been loose.

I also watched a guy sheer 6 wheel studs on pritchett canyon on his first run with his new spacers. Pretty good chance they were not torqued properly!
 
spacers arent a problem if you torque them right and maintain them, its a cheap fix rather than buying a whole new set of special wheels with 2 inch back spacing
