1" FactionFab spacers , no level , stock 17" rims n tires

[sootie007]

So before I install a level kit and larger tires in the future I figured I would run my stock tires for awhile and get my moneys worth out of them then install my RC 2.5 level kit and 1" wheel spacers . I installed the 1" FactionFab spacers yesterday to see if it would slightly beef up the looks of the factory stance ,tires and rims. Even though its really subtle -I like it. It basically brings the sidewall "just" outside the downward plane of the wheel wells. Its hard to take a picture of the effect accurately but for guys wanting to do this I figured I would document the look with only a 1" spacer , no level, stock 17" rims and tires. The passenger side front bumper shot below is before the spacer is installed, the drivers side front bumper shot is for comparisons sake with the spacer installed. For anyone who wants the factory sized sidewall really out there beyond the plane of the wheel well I am guessing 1.5" at a minimum to get it out there for that look. FactionFabs are quality pieces , fit snugly and worth it to me .

That looks cool! Exactly what I'm looking for.
May I ask who you got your spacers from, and how long it took to get them?
We're new lugnuts included?

Yep, that's how they should look right off the assembly line. Well done.

Are you happy with the fit, finish and quality of the spacers? Have to buy anything else or did the kit have everything that's needed?

 

[sootie007]

Yes Ranger - quality pieces- fit finish spot on , nuts included . I agree should look like this from the factory .

I’m not a fan of spacers but I love the look. Any handling or balance issues? I really like it.

Can we get a couple more pics from farther away?

I ordered mine on Thursday 3/4 around 11pm and they arrived yesterday. I wasn’t expecting them until the end of the week. It was a good surprise when UPS knocked.

Yes. Leveled ish... the Traxda 1” kit still has around an inch of rake

It's been like 3wks and still nothing. I asked Stage3 and they said when the mfg notifies them then 2-3 weeks. WTH? It's been 3 weeks and they still haven't notified Stage 3!

Did you have to trim the stock studs down? I see they protrude slightly past the spacer. Or is the relief in the back of the wheels big enough to be a non-issue?
