    I just used my old U bolts from my leaf spring replacement as lug nuts and then put a chunk of railroad tie between my hub and wheel. Works pretty good.

    Might as well change the wheel bearings out now - you'll just be going back in in a few thousand anyway, to redo them at present mileage, and increased wear of 1.25"s.

    http://www.autozone.com/suspension-...heel-bearing-hub-assembly-front/toyota/tacoma

    Good place to start, when it comes to mods having unexpected potential consequences in additional parts costs.

    Wheel bearings will likely be the first thing to go, assuming that the spacer assembly is installed correctly. Even 1.25" in difference of spacing, puts additional strain on bearing and suspension components.

    Better to look at getting rims with better off-set/backspacing figures that'll give the aggressive look that you are looking for.

    Biggest wheel spacer i've seen in casual looking, would be a 2".
