I actually haven't had a chance to test them out yet, this is my first set of them, I've always been loyal to the Toyo Open Country A/T but I decided to give these a shot because of all of the good reviews I've heard.

I will try to remember and ask you again in winter. I don't think mine is due yet but my friend told me that the stock good year are only good for 30k miles and i am on 26k now, so i am thinking i might need ones here soon. And i always liked the BFGoodrich but heard that they aren't that good on ice.... I guess we will see
Thank you, Moe

Just chiming in here to say I'm still waiting to get a good chance to go play in the dirt/mud and then give a review of performance of the spacers on stock wheels.

On that note, so far on the pavement they have been just fine. Truck feels the same as before when driving around, so as far as that goes, they are rock solid.

I just ordered a set of the 1.25" for my truck last night. Once I get the level and the spacers on I'll post a picture.

I've taken mine on some trails, absolutely no difference. No matter what roads I'm on, it's all the same, feels stock. Takes curves even better now. I pulled up to another fx4 at the gas station and the other owner complimented on my trucks stance vs his. I told him about the spacers, long story short, he's ordering the boras for his. He agreed that spending $200 vs $1000 on new wheels is the way to go, especially if you like your stocks. Now all I need is bigger tires, can't wait for my stocks to go.

I have assumed that's how it would be ... same/same, but perhaps slightly better stability due strictly to the wider stance.

to play off one other thing you said ... I think it bears repeating that after I changed from P rated tires to LT tires, and did the level, and now the spacers, the combination of things and their effect on my overall suspension/ride is night and day. The truck is a lot more stable and sporty now. Sure, I lost a little MPG and a little speed/quickness at take-off, but the trade is well worth it. I barely feel bumps in the road more than before, but the truck has almost zero body roll (relatively speaking), and the truck feels like it's glued to the road. I do wish I'd gone with 295's instead of 275's due strictly to looks, but either way i absolutely love how my truck looks and drives right now.

when it all comes down to it, here's what I had to spend to get from stock to where I am now:

Sell stock tires: ($500)
Buy new tires: $950
Buy spacers: $175
Buy Level Kit: $200 for front kit and rear blocks
Install Level Kit: $175
Alignment: $60

So, for basically $1,060 I was able to completely change my truck while keeping a very "stock" look. That's all I ever wanted ... to make the truck look and drive like I felt it should look coming off the production line.

I agree, the truck feels more stable especially around curves. I'm almost in the same boat as you, except I still have my stock tires and the fact that I changed my rear shocks to Fox 2.0's.

I'm so happy I actually like my stocks, it just needed a little help to enhance the look and push them out a bit. The bonus was that by adding the spacers, it actually improved the drivability/cornering.

I'm going to order a set tomorrow. Was considering the 1.5" spacers but I think I'll go with the 1.25". I'm running 275/60/20 duratracs on stock FX4 wheels.

Yes, please post pics, I'm interested in purchasing the same size tires.

mrash

1.25" spacers have been ordered. When I install them I'll post some pictures.

The P-rated duratracs are a great aggressive tire that won't kill your mpgs or make your truck feel sluggish due to their weight. I'm very happy with them.
