Off Roading Lifting dually, 36x13.50 Irok w/ 1.5" Spacers will it fit?

[Bodie]

I am building a long arm 8" suspension lift for my 2005 dually. I am going to run a 36x13. 50 Irok on the stock wheels. My question is I got a good deal on some 1. 5" spacers for the rear duals, and do you think 1. 5" will be enough for 13. 50s? I have seen a 2" on some 35x12. 50 and it had plenty of room, so I would think this 1. 5" would be enough? Has anyone ever DONE this? I dont pull anything right now, but I may later.



Thanks in advance guys!

Will the studs on the axle be long enough with the two wheels and 1. 5" spacer?

A 1. 5" spacer is offset and has new studs for the outside wheel. So the stock studs hold on the inner wheel, and the spacer. Then the studs in the spacer hold the outside wheel.

I run a very similar set-up with my dually and from past experience I would say you will need another set of spacers. When running wide tires like your 13. 50's you will need one set of spacers , just about the size of your 1-1/2" spacers, just to clear the springs and frame. Then you will need at least a set of 3" spacers to separate the dual rear wheels, I run a set of 4" rear spacers between the tires and a 1-1/4" spacer to get the tires out away from the frame.

Well, I know 12. 50s will fit with just a 2" spacer between the rear duals, I didnt think about the tires rubbing the springs... ... thats a new can of worms, I will do some measuring on that end and see what what I got.



Thanks y-not for adressing that, I sure would have been #@$%! if I built everthing and it came down to not fitting becuase of a freaking spacer. :-laf

I'm running a 2" spacer with some 305/85/16 Buckshots and they fit great. JM. 02

I would run the 2" spacer or even 2. 5" if you can find one. 13. 50s are wide and I ran a 37"x12. 50 Swamper SSR with a 2" Arrowcraft spacer on my dually for years until I recently turned it into a sled puller. My 12. 50s had about 1/4" space between each other with that 2" spacer and I think 13. 50s would definately touch. I had a really good picture of the SSRs that would help this thread but I can't find the thing. I think it got deleted. But here is a pic of my 38x11. 50x16 Boggers that I only use during the winter time. Hopefully this helps. That is still with the 2" spacer.

You might try running 3" spacers for 13. 50s but if it was my truck I would get a 2" spacer and another set of tires no wider than 12. 50".

Did you have to use a spacer on the inside duals as well?

No, just the spacer you were refering to but a 2". Put the inside wheel on, bolt up the spacer, then put the outside wheel on the spacer studs and bolt it up.
