A lot of shops have policy against working on vehicles with spacers. It's not about business, it's about liability. For instance if the owner didn't follow the instructions when he installed the spacer, then the tire shop rotates the tires (or does anything that involves removing the wheel), and later on the spacer fails... the shop would be in a bad spot because you know they're going to get blamed, even though they didnt install the spacers.Originally Posted by Holaday07 4.7
Found a pair of spacers for the front, got them installed, drove over to a friends, beat down the pinch welds, removed the tires, retorqued the spacers, remounted the BFG's topped off the tank and am ready to wheel tomorrow.

I just got back home to AZ after towing the Commander all summer, (about 6,000 miles). I had no problems at all except a burned out headlight. Replaced both of them with SilverStars. We went as far east as Virginia, north as far as Chicago, then wandered home. Was going to do New England but the Hurricane changed my mind.

Sure, I purchased a can of spray bed liner from Home Depot for $7.47, taped off a line that I liked and completed the task in about 30 minutes.
Now we need to find some good looking plugs for the plastic rocker panel mounting holes.
