Wheel Spacers

Installed 1.25” BORA spacers after the 1.75” ReadyLift leveling kit w/ UCA replacements. Wanted to stay with the factory 18” wheels also. Had to trim a bit but stuffed some LT295/70R18 Nitto Recon Grapplers afterwards. Very pleased with the end result.

*Leveling kit, spacers & tires were professionally installed at the same location*
Did they have to cut your studs or did the excess fit in the wheel recess?
 

I am curious who had to trim their factory lugs?
The factory wheels have a concave backside to the spokes, so you do NOT have to trim the studs with a 1.5” spacer. (Even though the studs are slightly longer than 1.5”)
 

Did the 1.5 spacers affect fuel mileage at all?…just thinking about the extra weight added to each corner.

I don’t really know… I put them on almost immediately after purchase. My driving is about 90% highway, and I get about 26mpg (3.0L Duramax)
 

What about for the 1.25" spacers?
From eyeballing it, I’d be worried about a 1.25” spacer and stock wheels… I think you’d need to trim the factory studs, but I haven’t measured to be sure. This is just my perception from installing my 1.5” spacers.
 

Has anyone added wheel spacers to a 2024 AT4X AEV 2500?
Go with 1.5" if you don't want to trim the factory studs. I put 1.25" studs on my 2021 AT4 HD and had to trim about 1/4" - 3/8" off the factory studs for the wheels to seat correctly. BORA spacers have served me well over the years.
