Are rc wheel spacers any good? They're made out of aluminum.

They use the correct grade of aluminum. As long as you're talking about the ones that have the wheel studs built in, then yes. The thin wheel "shims" without the separate studs are NOT recommended.

I've been using them for months now and haven't had any issues. I'm actually thinking of getting new wheels so I won't need the spacers anymore, if you're interested in them, PM me.

at 4.5" you really need to, especially on the road. The axle will be too far off center and you'll have steering issues

it'll probably still be too close to the original hole to be safe. You need an adjustable.

the trackbar is NOT something to skimp on...your life depends on it.

Default Is it worth it?

So I cleaned off the bottom and rear of my engine today.I don't think it was my RMS leaking. So is it worth it to spend the 20 or 30 bucks for a new valve cover gasket to make sure that was the problem? Second, to anyone has done this, is it tough? Any tips??

Hey guys, i just bought a 1992 jeep cherokee and it doesn't always go into 4x4 full time, most of the time it will only go into 4x4 part time. Any ideas on what the problem could be? Thanks!

I replaced mine this weekend, not hard to do at all. There are several good posts with great pictures that really helped and answered my questions.

I recommend paying for a quality gasket, I was pleased with the Fel Pro set I used.
