This is just for aesthetics, right? Can’t really think of a way adding yet more width to a Sasquatch would functionally benefit trail use?
If you plan to wheel much I wouldn't poke any more than the sasquatch wheels for fear of breaking the steering.

How’s that? Is putting aftermarket wheels on going to break your steering too.

Got my 1.5 Bora spacers installed today I think its the perfect amount of poke here’s a short video since it’s better than pics. I plan to keep the Sasquatch wheels and 35s for awhile so this will hold me over with the look I wanted plus gained a little more stability. Bronco has way more aggressive stance now.
I love it. Couple quick questions. Did you do steel or aluminum? Was there any grinding you had to do or was it straight bolt on? Did they come with all the parts needed to just bolt on and go?

Yeah, same effect, if you wheel hard. I wouldn't tempt fate based on the failures we've seen but curbs at the mall should be fine at low speeds.

How about rocks? Keep hearing these tires are major stone throwers! Any noticeable difference?

Just curious how much of the nuts that are inset in the spacer grab the threads. Are those supplied nuts? Just wondering if there is a lot more thread being grabbed since it doesn't even come flush with the top of the nut. Do they grab enough to not worry about it once installed?

Standard flares on Sasquatch seems like the ideal approach to this IMO. Would love to see some pics or video of anyone that's done it. I'm going to hold off until I have something protecting from rock throw or until I switch to different tires.

I thought the same after I installed the first one. The directions say at least 6 to 8 full turns on the lug nut I got 9 turns so I’m in the clear. It comes right to the end of the actual thread.

No concerns of added stress on the wheel bearings? With 1 1/2 spacers. I wanted to do it on my wrangler and my mechanic advised against for that reason. He said offset is better than spacers. Thoughts?

It is a little different but am not fully sure. That is why I am asking other opinions. If you change the offset your up and down pressure is still directly bolted to the hub. Extend it out 1 1/2 inches your up and down pressure isn't as directly bolted to the hub. Does that make sense? Again just asking opinions.

From what ive seen a 0 offset will get you about the same look. Thats my game plan.
