Wheel spacers!!!
I have a 2015 f150 and I am getting a ready lift 2 1/4" front level with a 1" rear block installed by my local dealer with a new set of Bfg Ko2's 285/6520's and I want to run 1 1/2" wheel spacers like others have on this forum!!! My question is what's a good brand name spacer to purchase? I know there's tons on eBay but I am afraid of the quality!

The boras come highly recommended too. Definitely gotta get the hub-centric.
If you have a SCREW you're probably gonna rub the crash bars in reverse, maybe just one direction, maybe two. Mine just rub in one direction, counterclockwise reverse but I got 275/65 tires. The 285s are just an UH bigger so a little rub is almost a sure thing. Wish I could get the same out of the wife.
Good luck.

I have BORA 1.5" spacers. No issues but I've only put about 1000 miles on them. BORA spacers are wheel and hub centric so everything fits and it's a lot safer. If you're worried about durability, I suppose you could order a set of Fred Goeske spacers. They're more expensive but made out of steel. Timken bearing steel to be exact. For what I do (just drive) the BORA are more than enough.
I had rubbing with 275/65/20 KO2s on a 2.5" lift. I cut the crash bar lengthwise to take some of the rounded-ness from the square bar and used a grinder to smooth the edges. Painted it black. No more rub. Like previously stated, some people have had no rub with the 285/65/20 and spacers and some have. I don't know what would make things different. I do know that the 275/65/20 KO2 did not rub on a stock suspension and no wheel spacers.
