Re: Barn raising

The Lincoln 9 was about an inch narrower on each side, 2 inches total. But I thought that the back spacing on the wheels would compensate for the shorter axle. Although I was correct in thinking it would move the wheel out, it only moved it out to around stock width. Looks like I am going to have to get some spacers to make it look right. What brand is rated best? I do not want the cheap kind that throws the wheel out of balance. I am waiting on purchasing them until I get the bed on so I can get the correct width spacer, but I believe it is going to be about 1 inch.
