Looking for 2" spacer for 2012 ??

Any info or names of a company that makes a bullet broof 2" spacer for my 2012 dually.

I called Arrow Craft and they said that they have not had a 2012 in their shop yet and believe the stud sizes have changed from last year. Any truth?

Also so that the duallies do not wonder they send a reamer kit, to ream the holes and I need to buy new centercaps for my Alcolas because the new hex nut wont fit.

Anybody know of something a little easier?

Hell Bent Steel or Top Gunz Kustoms are the two choices you want to go with. Might have to call them and tell them your particulars but both companies have helped me in the past.

Both can be trusted and have extensive leveling experience in the Dodge Cummins world.

I would look into coils instead of spacers.

2 inch Dually Wheel Spacers ??

You got me... Coils ????

I think I got it....I am looking for a 2" spacer to go between the dually wheels (rims). Split the rims apart so I can put on wider tires.

NOT a 2 inch spacer to raise the truck height or level...as in coils. (?)

Sorry...Should have been a lil more specific.

FYI fellas, Shlen is looking for a set of these.

Allows you to run wider tire on a dually without any contact issues.

I've been running the cheap ones from ebay for a few years now and I've noticed a detail that seems very important. The wheels are hub-centric, meaning that the hub (axle housing in this case) centers the wheel in place. With the type of adapters I have, the outer wheel is no longer hub-centric, since the axle housing is slightly narrower at 2" out. There isn't much "wiggle room" when you use the wheels studs to center the wheel, but it doesn't take much to mis-align the two wheels and get a noticeable vibration. I've been dealing with the vibration for a couple years. Now, if you look closely at the set in blake's link, there is a thin, machined lip that centers the wheel. In my opinion, this makes the set from wheeladapter.com well worth the cost. And that's saying something, because I paid $80 for mine! I plan to get rid of my current ones and drop the money on a set of the nicer ones when I get new tires.

Evan hit the nail on the head with that one.

Thanks Blake for the link. Called them up and they were just building sets for 2012. Talked to Fred directly, great guy. They are in the mail as we speak.
