Default Going UP ?

Quicklift 1.5" arrived today, Rancho 9000 adjustables going in. Looking for feedback an who to go with for 1" wheel spacers.....losing the OEM 20's, going to XD 18 x 9 Rockstars and thinking 305-60-18 Nitto Terra Grapplers - by my calculations the 1" spacers with the 1.5" Quicklift will be right at the edge for sneakers (may end up at 1.5" spacers). Also - the OEM wheels came off tough after the salt this year in NY - time to break out the Never-Seez.......anyone else find a better product to proteck their wheel investment from oxidation ? Pix to follow once it's done.

If you're buying rims anyway why not order rims with 1" less backspacing and eliminate the wheel spacer?

Spacers should always be a last resort. If you're ordering new rims you should always try for the correct offset. A lot of times you end up with spacers on used rims if its one of those deals you can't pass up.
