Installing WHEEL SPACERS & WINTER PREP
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- In this video I show you how I install wheel spacers for my Jeep. I took a few extra steps to make sure the wheel well was cleaned up prior to winter. Some rust protection was applied to a few areas as preventative maintenance. Don't forget to tighten the bolts down to spec and I used lock-tite on the spacer bolts. Also, anti-seize is a good idea for the hub so it doesn't rust together over time.

1.5" Rough Country Spacers: amzn.to/2eDJSD1
Just came across this today. Looks great! No safety glasses while using that wire brush on the drill is pretty risky to say the least!
Has a lifted Jeep but has a jack for a Toyota Prius, C’mon man!
The new camera is incredible, big difference. Great job !!
I've been using this jack for the past 3 years no trouble at all, it's a high lift and low profile so it will work perfect on the BMW and the Jeep. Get a 2x4 and cut it into 4" sections you can stack on the jack head if needed. Nice job.If the chorme keeps pealing or you want to protect the wheels for winter, you could plasitdip them. I know it's considered tacky, but it's good protection.
+Rich Beach good points. I'll look into that jack and still on the fence about plasti dip. Maybe just some anthracite gray wouldn't be too bad.
that looks great!!! i have an 05 v8 and I'm looking to do the same as yours. nothin crazy, just nice and clean!
nice tunes as well on the vid!
i've had inch and a half wheel spacers on my 2006 jeep commander now for over 6 years and everything in fine.
yip, 1,25 on my side. plenty of rough roads.
Youre supposed to put the locktite on the threaded bolt right where the nut will be torqued. The way you did it by the time you thread the bolt on there all the locktite will be left on the end of the bolt instead of where it needs to be. lol
Looking way better with the spacers Brandon.
Good to see another Beryl Green WK owner with pride. Looking good- better than my stocky. XD
Would these stop rubbing the tire ?
When you have a short jack, the easiest way jack up a taller vehicle is to use a piece of 4x4 pressure treated wood 6" to 8" tall on top of your jack plate. It's more stable than putting wood supports under your jack.
Well done Brandon! An idea for a future video: How to deal with salt and brine in the underbody chassis in wintertime, preventing rust and corrosión.
+torre1976 Vs easy solution...move south! Good idea though.
Dude, eye protection when cleaning up those hubs?
Did a great job all around, never knew you were supposed to put antisieze on the back of the spacer like that. About the correct spacer size, you should go out as much as you go up to correct for the change in geometry. I have a 2.5" lift on my KJ, so I went out with 1.25" spacers (1.25x2=2.5).
Put spacers on the BMW
were the tires rubbing?
Love it! Looks awesome!
Can I put spacers without lift ?
Dude, eye pro! Also, wood block ON TOP of the Jack.
Brandon, just came across your videos today. I have a 2006 WK Jeep and your videos are awesome and inspiring. You have a lot of projects completed that I intend to do. Particularly I want to replace the shocks on my vehicle because every speedbump is a rollercoaster these days (154k miles). Thanks for making these videos and showing somebody who doesn't know anything about cars what these different modifications are and how realistic it is to actually do them. I noticed the topsail shirt in the vid, are you from NC? I'm in Raleigh. Also, have you had to do any repairs to your Jeep's AC? These WK Jeeps are notorious for the plastic handles breaking too. I've already replaced the 4 of my interior handles. There are smaller known issues such as the climate control illumination (around the knobs and various other symbols) having their lights go bad. Have you had similar issues?
I am actually in Ohio, but vacationed in Topsail. AC has been good, I did a charge once and it has been fine since. My handles have actually been fine too. My biggest cost has been suspension work, but I also take it off road occasionally and have a lift done.
Hey, Brandon! I have a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 5.7 Liter, and I am looking to get tires and rims. But, my gas mileage is horrible as it is. Did getting a lift, all-terrain tires, and spacers affect your gas mileage much?
Yeah it did affect gas mileage. I would say I lost between 1-2 mpg after doing it. It's heavier and now higher off the ground. Looks sick though!
@@ShiftedPerspective But did you correct the ecu for the change in tire size? If you didn't, then the dash mpg will be off with the speedo.
Spray some 303 or some sort of undercarriage spray in the wheel well or even diluted perl. Will make them look darker and cleaner.
How many inches is ur lift?
After installing the spacers did you experience any tire rub on the pinch weld?
Jeep looks good Brandon.
I only have rub when full turn, but anything else, no rubbing.
Awesome job but you should have went to Harbor Freight and got your Loctite I just spent $2.96 on a bigger bottle than what you bought.... I'm doing the same thing to mine today but I paid $87 for four of them from eBay
Would you recommend 1.5” spacers or 2” for a stock no wheels or rims 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee ?
1,25 is better
I just put 2 in spacers on mine and it felt weird driving it but I'm used to it now it turned out really really well so if I were you I would go at 2 in spacers I will sticks out about an inch and a half past the wheel well
i know im late to this video just now doing stuff to mine but just wondering whats your offset?
That jack is inadequate, as you acknowledge. @1.30 it must be taking about 1.5T, effectively lifting both sides but with the effort from one side. I always use two hydralic jacks to lift both sides (or front and back) evenly together as far as possible, and they are 2.5T ones with a much bigger footprint than the one you are using. I always have a wooden pad on the jack lifting head too, softwood about an inch thick ; the jack head makes indentations in it that keeps it located.
Also do the tires rub because this is exactly what I want to do to mine
Did it end up messing up your wheel bearings ?
New camera is amazing! What is it?
Canon G7X
Jeeps looks good. What size tires you using. It has that strong beefy look
Nitto Terra Grapplers!
Good vid 👍🏼
just need to know what tires sizes are? and is that a 2 inches lift?
+Elie Kabbabe tires are Nitto Tera Grappler 265/70/17
WHAT LIFT DO YOU WEAR AND SIZE OF TYRES ?
what year and engine size do u have?
jack it by the axles
Definitely expected to come on here and see a bunch of people telling horror stories about spacers because it’s all you ever hear. Glad that isn’t the case. Anyone have any tips, I thought about doing it on my 18 compass latitude
invest in a 3 ton jack 2 tons don't have the height or weight capacity as a 3 ton does.
Harbor freight 3ton Jack $69
You should plastidip the wheels to make them look better atleast for the winter
+eddie lewis I might be doing that!
What size lift did you get
2” spacer lift
So spacers pretty much make the wheels stick out a little? I'm asking because I want to do them on my 535i which already have staggered tires/wheels so please let me know thanks
They just push the wheels out further so they can make the wheels flush or push them beyond. I prefer flush on my BMW, but sticking out on my Jeep.
Thanks buddy! I have one more question if u don't mind, I bought after market wheels which are 19in and I kept my original tires because my car came with 19in and I had the aftermarket wheels balances and rebalanced numerous times and the ride quality is still rough around a certain speed! So I put my factory msport wheels back on! Do u know why the wheels are casusing vibrations?
How do you have subscribers
You should put some 16 wides on it
Watching this guy work on his vehicles gives me anxiety
Tell me about it. I’m anxious just thinking about it!
your need to buy "truck stands" to work on a jeep. not one for street car.
Tires can be as wide as you like, but almost no state allows the tires to stick out further than the vehicle's fenders. ... This law can be fairly easily subverted in most cases by purchasing and installing aftermarket fender flares wide enough to cover the tires.
Just say in.
NEVER PUT ANTISIEZE ON WHEN YOU PUT WHEEL SPACERS ON THEY WILL VIBRATE LOOSE
