P1000 Wheel spacer math??

[Jbutler]

For me it was an 1" spacer on the rear wheels. I am running 7" -3.5 wheels all around.

Rb3offroad.com has a great deal on spacers

@JTW you should buy this “for the better axles” *wink wink nod nod*

The price wasn't bad but the $20 flat rate shipping charge ruined the deal for me.

You can get just the extended axles separate....

We tried to do the cheapest way possible to ship them! I have looked at all ways. But the quality is worth it! We also have a sale till Christmas.

Dude you could be 80" wide and your still going to dump it! If i were you id take some balet classes and get some balance.You being Fred Flintstone is old.

That’s a kick in the old sack!

Same for me on a 2016 P1k with 10" wide tires all around.

Oh no you don't that distinction belongs to @PioneerPete and his log chucking P1K.

Up the Dragon's Back and down the Widow Maker... earned every letter of that name!

Comes down to it there’s a high probability if I can plug it, I can patch it from inside and be back on the trails without a spare. A spare is heavy and takes up a lot of space. Takes a few more mins but I’ve only needed to plug a tire twice and those were both thin factory tires. I’m easier on the machine than some, I’ll try the same routes and obstacles but the way it get there isn’t as aggressive.

While they are heavier wheels, with the Evos the combo isn’t as heavy as a single beadlock and a set of roctanes. Those have been shown to be not too tough on the drivetrain with a slightly more aggressive driving style. So I have durability on the good side for two things AND the added weight is going as low as you can possibly add it.

That setup was probably 100-150lbs Mount, spare, jack, tools, made it top heavy which is why I haven’t made/bought a swing away tire carrier. It doesn’t fit my trail style I need stability and it gets in the way around the house using it for work.

For the really bad cuts or holes I’ll have a spare at the truck and a way to get to it just in case.

All that to answer why dual beadlocks.

"told you that story to tell you this one..."lol

So, going with Forward Offset A-Arms is really not a good idea, then?

I just ordered them, but after reading this am having a little buyers regret.

They are stronger and give you extra clearance without lifting, also give you extra wheelbase for climbs (not sure 3” makes all THAT much difference though) also let you adjust camber if you do lift it, but that comes with the downside of HAVING to adjust camber.

No going back for me, I sent my factory arms to someone on here for the shipping cost.

No Regrets! The new a-arms are a lot better than stock. All good on mine. The factory setup has the rear 1" narrower than the fronts. A lot of people on here downing wheel spacers. You can always do sideline quarterbacking- without ever doing it. I've had zero problems with spacers. Others using them have had good experiences.

 

[ohanacreek]

After having the front and rear wheels off last night and measuring it looks like the front is slightly more than 1” wider than rear.

To get back to factory track I am debating with myself about putting 1” spacers on the rear. In theory the stress of the spacer would be no difference than the offset built into the factory wheel.

The downside will be 4 hidden lugnuts, if I decide that’s the perm route, I will clean the threads and torque them down with red loctite.

I had thought about red loctite while reading this post. Just have to heat them to get them off. No big deal.

Exactly.
