This Dynofit kit is the gold standard for Ford F-150 and Expedition owners who value a vibration-free ride. The 87.1mm hub bore centers the spacer directly on the axle hub, eliminating the lug-centric slop that causes high-speed shake. Each spacer is forged from 6061-T6 aluminum and uses Grade 10.9 Dacromet-coated studs—these are designed to deform under catastrophic load rather than snap, a critical safety feature that cheaper cast alternatives lack.

The 4-piece set covers both axles, so you get uniform stance front and rear. Real-world install reports confirm the hub lip fits tightly with no play, and the M14x2.0 thread pitch matches factory specs on 2004-2014 F-150 and Expedition models. One verified owner logged over 600 miles of off-road towing with zero loosening, crediting the full-length studs for maximizing thread engagement.

Torque discipline matters here: the manufacturer recommends 95-105 lb-ft dry for the spacer-to-hub connection and 130-150 lb-ft dry for the wheel-to-spacer connection. Never use anti-seize on these studs, as lubricants artificially inflate torque readings and risk over-stressing the material. Re-torque after 50 miles.

Richeer’s 2-inch spacer stands out because it uses Grade 12.9 studs—a step above the more common 10.9. The 12.9 rating gives a tensile strength of roughly 1,220 MPa, which translates to a higher safety margin under heavy loads like towing or oversized tires. For Silverado and Sierra 1500 owners running 35-inch tires or hauling regularly, that extra stud strength provides measurable peace of mind.

The 78.1mm hub bore is matched to GM 1500 trucks and SUVs from 1999 through 2025, and the spacer is CNC-machined from forged 6061-T6 billet. The anodized black surface resists corrosion from road salt and mud. Owners report a perfect fit on the hub lip with no play, and the included lug nuts are the correct acorn style for GM wheels.

One caveat from real reviews: the included lug nuts occasionally spin during tightening if the impact wrench is set too high. Hand-thread first, then torque to 140 lb-ft in a star pattern. A few users noted minor vibration between 60-80 mph, likely from a lug-centric wheel that didn’t center perfectly on the spacer’s hub lip—re-seating the wheel usually resolves it.

The KSP spacer targets the aluminum-body F-150 generation starting in 2015, a platform where the wheel hub bore changed slightly from earlier years. The 87.1mm center bore matches the 2015-2026 F-150 and Expedition hubs exactly, so the spacer sits concentrically without wobble. It’s machined from cast 6061-T6 aluminum billet with a black anodized finish—cast, not forged, but still within acceptable strength parameters for most daily-driven trucks.

Hardware includes Grade 10.9 geomet bolts (a corrosion-resistant coating similar to Dacromet) and a tube of thread locker. The recommended torque of 85-95 lb-ft is slightly lower than factory wheel torque, so mark your sockets. Verified owners running a 2.5-inch leveling kit with 1.5-inch KSP spacers reported zero rubbing after installation, and the 2-inch version gives a similarly clean stance that sits the tires flush with or just outside the fender.

One area where KSP saves cost is the stud material. The 10.9 rating is fine for stock-to-moderate tire sizes, but if you’re running 37-inch mud tires or a heavy steel bumper, the 12.9 studs on the Richeer kit offer more headroom. The cast billet construction also means the spacer itself is slightly more brittle than a forged equivalent, though no failure reports have surfaced in real-world use.

This Dynofit model is the benchmark for 5×4.5 bolt pattern applications—Jeep XJ Cherokee, Wrangler TJ, Ford Mustang, and Ranger. The forged 6061-T6 construction is a major safety upgrade over the cast spacers commonly found in this price range. Forged aluminum has a grain structure that follows the part’s shape, making it far less likely to develop stress cracks under the cyclic loading of off-road articulation or track-day cornering.

The 80.5mm hub bore and 1/2”-20 stud thread pitch cover a wide range of older Jeeps and Fords. Dynofit uses Grade 10.9 studs with Dacromet coating, and the kit includes 20 lug nuts. One verified review highlighted using these on an off-road trailer loaded for a 600-mile round trip with no loosening—a testament to the proper stud engagement and material quality. The recommended torque window is 75-85 lb-ft, lower than many full-size truck specs, so don’t assume higher is better.

The main trade-off is that this is a lug-centric design. Without a hub-centric lip, the wheel centers on the lug nuts alone. For vehicles with tight factory tolerances this works fine, but if your hub has any wear, you may feel a slight vibration at highway speeds. Dynofit’s 12-month warranty backs the spacer, but not the fitting labor if you need to swap.

Rough Country’s 1101 spacer has been a staple in the GM truck world since 2013, and its longevity on the market speaks to consistent quality. The spacer is CNC-machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum with a machined exterior finish that resists corrosion. The bolt pattern is 6×5.5 (6×139.7mm) with a 3.08-inch center bore and M14x1.5 thread pitch, matching 1988-2020 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon, and Suburban 1500 models.

Sold as a pair (two spacers, one axle), this kit requires buying two sets if you want all four corners. The pre-installed studs are Grade 10.9 and the spacers are lug-centric, meaning they rely on the nuts to center the wheel. In practice, most GM hubs have tight enough tolerances that vibration isn’t an issue, but a few owners with lifted trucks noted minor steering-wheel shake at 70 mph that resolved after checking lug torque.

Real-world durability is strong: one owner reported two years of daily driving on a 2005 Silverado 1500 with no issues, and a Suburban owner with a 6-inch lift noted that the spacers transformed the truck’s look and handling. The included “retorque after 100 miles” warning is standard and should not be skipped. Rough Country backs this with a limited lifetime warranty, covering manufacturing defects.

The 1101RED is mechanically identical to the standard 1101—same 6061-T6 billet aluminum, same 6×5.5 bolt pattern, same M14x1.5 thread pitch—but with a bright red anodized finish that adds visual flair behind open-spoke wheels. It fits the same GM 1500 truck and SUV range from 1988-2021, making it a direct drop-in replacement for the silver version if you want a color-coordinated build.

Installation takes roughly an hour with basic tools and a jack. The pre-installed studs are Grade 10.9 and the kit includes the necessary nuts. Owners on 2019 GMC Sierra AT4s report a perfect fit with the red finish matching factory red accents. The spacer pushes the wheels out 2 inches per side, which on a leveled truck creates an aggressive stance that fills the wheel wells without excessive poke.

The main drawback is the same as the standard 1101: it’s a lug-centric spacer, so centering accuracy depends entirely on tightening the nuts evenly. A few owners mentioned that the supplied nuts could benefit from a dab of thread locker. Also, the red anodizing is cosmetic and doesn’t affect performance, but if you’re running steel wheels that cover the spacer completely, the standard silver 1101 is a better value.

This GAsupply spacer shifts the focus from trucks to ATVs and UTVs, specifically vehicles with a 4x110mm bolt pattern like Honda Rancher, Yamaha Grizzly, and Bombardier models. The 2-inch thickness adds significant track width, improving stability on side slopes and allowing clearance for brake drums or larger tires. The spacer is CNC-machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum with 12.9-grade bolts pre-installed.

The 74mm hub bore and M10x1.25 stud pitch fit most 4×110 ATVs, but the tight hub bore tolerance means it won’t fit vehicles with a larger center bore. Verified Honda Rancher owners report a perfect fit that solved brake drum clearance issues, and a Yamaha Grizzly 700 owner noted improved stability on trails. The black anodized finish blends with the hub and resists mud and water intrusion.

One critical issue surfaced in reviews: the included lug nuts have short thread engagement—several users warned that the supplied nuts don’t bite enough stud thread for safe operation. Upgrading to extended-shank lug nuts (like Tusk brand) is strongly recommended. This is a design oversight that shouldn’t exist, but the spacer body itself is well-made. Buy this kit with the understanding that you’ll invest another few dollars in proper lug nuts.
