i was giving you a hard time. check out my build i think i have a comparison to a stock runner. mine are 1.25
I know haha
I'm really thinking about going with the 1.5" but i'm worried they will stick out past the fender flares.

sticking out from fender flares is also dependent on how large tires you'll be using as well
are you planning on running larger than stock size? also, are you planning on lifting or just using spacers for the stance?
I have 265/70r17 which are an inch bigger than the stock ones and i'm puttin the daystar 2.5/1.5" lift on tomorrow. I may try to run bigger tires later on when i get more money.

they will, but not by much, maybe 1/4". check out my new wheels, different offset pushes them out further. I happen to like the wider stance, i would have gone 1.5 in retrospect.

i have 1.5" spacers on mine. 0 offset x8.5 wheels with 265/70s
I had to trim and move fender liners forward but otherwise not that bad.

Looks sick man. I may consider going with the 1.5" spacers. At first i was skeptical about the wheels stickin out but it looks really good.

i think its perfect. 1.25 is nice but the 1.5 sets it off. My fenders are at 38", so may be a little taller than the set up listed above.
so what do you guys mean by offset? I'm still learning about all this kind of stuff lol

My 2 cents went 1.25 n the front because front axle with 4x4 is wider 1.5 n the back, to even it out !

i have 17x7.5 stock rims. if i got the 1.5" spacers would it looks like yours?

I am planning to get some wheel spacers soon.
Where should I get them installed? Do I need to go to an off-road shop? I was thinking a tire place (Discount Tire is the closest) because I want to get the tires rebalanced with the weights inside the wheel, instead of the wheel face, at the same time. Seems like a simple enough install, but there is a lot riding on it, so to speak, with the safety concerns.
If I go to an off-road shop, is it likely to be cheaper to order the parts myself, or order through the shop?
Thanks!
Edit: I do not have a floor jack or torque wrench to do it myself.

Discount could probably do it for you, but it's a pretty simple install if you have a torque wrench.
1. Take off tire
2. put spacer on
3. put red loctite on threads
4. put nuts on
5. torque nuts to 80 (might be 85 I don't remember)
6. Put wheel back on and torque to 85
7. Drive around for awhile
8. recheck torque at 75. If still torqued you're good, if not retorque to spec (80 or 85) and repeat steps 7 and 8
