Just wanted to get a general idea of how people are liking/disliking their BTF/RB Spacers.

Any rubbing, damage, regrets, etc?

For me, since I have only had them on a couple days, I am pretty happy. I just have to drive carefully because, A) the control arm/spindle rub on my coil on droop, and B) I haven't installed my new MOOG ball joints yet, and C) I haven't met up with Brandon yet to get my Limit Straps.

I used my rig for offroadling a lot before the lift, but I have to do some more mods to make sure its safe to offroad again, especially with all the stress.

How about you guys!?

I wish we could get some feedback on this one cause im thinkin of orderin 2.25 front and 2.00 rear, but im not sure about how hard itd be on stuff cause i do use this thing on the farm
 






I've had my 2.25x1.75 spacers on for about a month now with brand new (stock) ball joints, it rides a little rough due to the mexed out suspension, but my 285's (in the mail) should calm that slightly.
Overall: i love the lifted X

I have a 2.25 front/2.0 rear set I have for sale...see the link in my sig if you are interested.
 






I've had my TRUXXX lift installed on top of a body lift for about 9 months now. Still no problems and I go wheelin just about everyother weekend in the mountains. Installed MOOG balljoints not to long after the spacers but they were already torn before I put the lift on. All-in-all I'm stil satisfied!
 






Brandon has a few ideas for bolt on limit strap mounts and or new upper control arms. He is in the process of moving houses and has no internet so he has not been able to log onto here and post responses.
 






Rough time of the year to be moving house.
 












Hahaha :D, winter can fun. Hell, hook up a couple of big fans and youve got a seasonal mobile home!!!
 






I have a really nice set of lift spacers I made myself cnc cut they are forsale 2.5 front and 2" rear, I had them in my truck for about 6 months but I was missing my caddy ride feel, so I took them out and I was I glad I did, I use my for a lot of highway miles, but the truck look like it was suppose too:D
 






Have been running with RoadBully spacers in the front of my '05 for 30,000 miles. No problems, rides fine, no worries.
 






Good to hear!

I just wanted to get feedback from the "long term" users.

So far, my drive is a little less smooth. I haven't gotten the moogs or straps still. Gunna go tomorrow most likely (shops were closed today).

Btw Brandon is in southern California. A move isn't too hard :)
