BORA wheel spacers

[ali_c20]

Ha! Got my BORA wheel spacers after waiting 2 months for USPS to deliver. Wanted to have the same track width on my K5 since I bought it. I never liked the goofy look of the smaller track on the rear axle.

Custom steel spacers, great machine work from motorsport tech.

I will post before and after pictures as soon they're installed.

I completely agree, what width spacers did you order?
Did these spacers work well for you? Photos?

Thanks!

After further research, there is a 3" difference between the front axle and rear axle, so 1.5" spacer for each side on the rear axle would equal out the front and rear.

Yes, 1.5". Spacers work great. Stick to the instructions and all is good.
I did not paint the side where the spacer sits on the drum just added some anti seize to avoid any play cause the paint will wear off.

I used BORA spacers on my build too because the tore (fornt and rear) just sat in too far. Then and the Fred Geortechsy-son (don't remember the last name) are the only two brands I would trust.

I’m just starting my research on spacers, so this might be a dumb question: to minimize play, wouldn’t it make more sense not to use anti-seize and instead put bare metal on metal and let rust help bond them together?

Did y’all go with steel or aluminum spacers and why?

I used a thin layer of antiseize for servicing the drum brakes. Antiseize has "no" thickness and does not effect play. If rust forms between surfaces it puts a lot of force on the wheel studs as rust has way more volume than steel.

Steel for the strength. A few more pounds don't mater on our trucks.
