Again, I have 2" spacers in the rear of my blazer. Its the van 14bolt. I now wish I had the 3" spacers in the rear just to get the extra inches:crazy: . But the 2" spacers will work. You just may need to trim the inner-fender a bit if you have wide tires.

The rear is not the problem it is the front. Someone on here is running stock HMMWV wheels and 1" spacers on a SRW front 60 and rubs his pitman arm when turning but he still has push pull. I run 4.25 backspacing and by my calibrated eye 5" backspacing will clear the steering components but we have not measured anything.

Greg72 I remember your post a year or so ago aboot comparing a regular wheel to a HMMWV wheel it had some good photos.

Yeah I measured it all out a few days ago. The front will be fine with 2" spacers and if needed you could run without spacers at all in the rear.
