Hey everyone....have a delima....my 96 3/4 ton burb my wife drives has some dodge rims rubbing on the upper ball joint carrier(I think that's what it is called)...it isn't much....just over a 1/4 inch....I got some 1/4 inch spacers from a off road shop today. He said put 2 on each side and as long as each bolt had at least a 1/2 inch in length I should be fine especially since it is 8 lug and not much off roading is done. But I have heard this is dangerous to do. Think I will be ok?
