There are various wheel spacers for dually trucks sizes, ranging from 1-inch to 5-inch. With so many options available, how can I determine what size wheel spacers are best? Generally, most experts recommend staying within the range of 1-inch to 2-inch (25.4mm to 50.8mm) for wheel spacers. Here are the pros and cons of these sizes:
- 1-inch: After installing 1-inch spacers, you start to notice subtle changes in the vehicle’s appearance and handling, particularly when cornering.
- 1.25-inch: The wheels stand wider apart, creating better stability and giving your vehicle a rugged look.
- 1.5-inch: By pushing the wheels outward, 1.5-inch wheel spacers provide improved stability and better appearance.
- 2-inch: With the help of 2-inch wheel spacers, you can add wider tires or bigger rims without compromising safety.
- 3-inch: Using 3-inch spacers is a good idea to fit lift kits while keeping the stock wheels.
How to Install Wheel Spacers for Dually Trucks?
Installing wheel spacers for dually trucks is simple, and most knowledgeable customers can install them without problems. Before putting the wheel spacers on the vehicle hub, it is important to confirm whether the spacers fit the vehicle lug patterns.
- Park your truck on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
- Loosen the lug nuts on each wheel, but don’t remove them yet.
- Raise your vehicle using the jack and secure it with jack stands.
- Remove the wheel.
- Clean the hub surface and the backside of the wheel to ensure proper fitment.
- Place the wheel spacer onto the hub, ensuring it sits flush and aligns with the hub assembly lug holes
- Carefully remount the wheel, tightening the lug nuts initially.
- Lower the vehicle back onto the ground.
- Use a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts in a crisscross pattern to the manufacturer’s recommended torque specifications.
- Repeat the process for the remaining wheels.
What makes BONOSS Truck Wheel Spacers the Best Choice?
High-end wheel spacers are produced with top-quality materials to provide optimum performance to the vehicle. For example, BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers for trucks are made by advanced machinery and undergo a series of safety tests before leaving the factory. BONOSS offers several key advantages that make their spacers a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for Safe Upgrades
Based on traditional rim spacers, BONOSS forged active cooling wheel spacers come with heat dissipation grooves. These petal-shaped grooves allow the external cold air to flow continuously to actively dissipate heat for the braking system. Besides, the edge notches act as air collectors, which tremendously enlarges the airflow, enhancing the heat dissipation effect and improving road safety.
2. Aerospace Materials for Improved Strength
Unlike those cheap casting spacers, BONOSS forged wheel spacers for trucks are exceptionally strong, making them very durable. Due to the super forging process, BONOSS forged 7075-T6 aluminum spacers feature an ultimate tensile strength of 74000-78000 psi (510-572 MPa). They won’t break easily in off-roading adventures.
3. Precisely Machined for No Deviation
BONOSS forged hub-centric wheel spacers for trucks are CNC machined, precision at 0.02mm, which makes the hub-centric lip more accurate, perfectly fits the wheel hub, and provides a snug connection between the wheel and vehicle hub, reducing the chances of vibrations.
Frequently Asked FAQ
Q: Is it necessary to add wheel spacers on all 4 tires?
A: It is not necessary to add wheel spacers for trucks on all 4 tires. Most people use wheel spacers just to accommodate bigger brakes on the front wheels.
Q: Will wheel spacers allow for larger tires?
A: Wheel spacers create more inner wheel clearance, which allows for fitting larger 33s-35s AT tires without rubbing issues.
Q: Can you use wheel spacers on stock wheels?
A: Yes, you can put wheel spacers for trucks on stock wheels with no problem. Even if you don’t change the OEM wheels and tires, spacers improve the off-roading experience greatly.
Final Verdict: Elevate Your Truck with BONOSS
With these outstanding advantages, it’s clear that BONOSS forged wheel spacers for trucks offer exceptional safety, durability, and professionalism. Whether you’re upgrading the aesthetics or improving the ride quality, choosing BONOSS ensures that you’re getting a product that meets the highest standards of performance and quality.
