I use 1.25" spacers on my truck because the Wheels I have are off an AWD Explorer not the Ranger ones. So the offset is different and to put the wheels where they belong i needed to add the spacer.. The new wheels I wont need them any longer.

As a normal spacer depending on your needs, personally unless your using a different bolt pattern style, I wouldn't go over 1.25-1.50" spacers. You'd be better off getting the correct offset for your application and needs...

I seen quite a few "horror" stories being told about spacers and I'd have to say for what some people were doing, unfortunately you get what you deserve. throwing 2.5" spacers on wheels that you picked up second hand and MADE fir as you would have it and then taking and trying to jump your truck and you wonder why you end up with bearing issues or snapped spindles or what have ya.

CBB may have more input on this..
