Use STEEL spacers only.
Not aluminum.
I’ve used these on my truck.
1.5”-2” available.
Fast shipping.

They will be built for your year truck hub.
Very good quality.

I think aluminum spacers are fine if they are quality made.
But for dually front ends with heavy wheels and adapters I think steel is the best option.
My truck is a static dropped 2003 dually.
2” spacers on single wheel rotors.
