06' dodge 3500 dually 4x4 -Wheel spacer question- Texas Help

first of all, this is my first post here, so how are yall doing...great site!!

Story~
I have a 06 dually, which not long ago, I had a leveling kit added, with 35'' mickey thompsons...as well as a 2'' wheel spacer....

I got bored the other day, and i had a 6'' suspension with 37'' pro-comps put on.. same 2'' spacer

I bought the KMC rockstar black dually wheels to go with it...problem is.. the factory rim is about 1'' higher than the rockstars rear wheel, making it when you mount the outer wheel, they tiers smashed together...

we all agreed that a 3-3.5' wheel spacer would be enough to make up the difference of the wheels..

4wheelparts do not carry anything bigger than a 2.5, so i had to go backhome and get one of the 4x4 shops to order the 3.5'

I am IGNORANT when it comes to this stuff...for some reason im scared of it, do i have anything to be worrid about by he spacer?

another thing, 4wheelparts as well as discount said they cant touch my wheels *rotating, moutning, balancing* do to the spacer...is there anybody in dallas area that can give me some help when it comes to getting new tires, or rotating, where i can go, in order to get the spacer off?

Thanks
Blake

p.s. the rockstars are sick looking, but i all the shops here had to manually put on the front wheels because they goujed them once, and had to replace them

no one will touch them due to liability issues. goodluck finding someone that will. you could always bring them in the shop loose to get them blanced and mount them yourself.

3.5" wheel spacer Shocked

get the right wheels for your application. wheel spacers, especially ones that big, are not a good idea.

Pete, its for a dually, they make spacers of all kinds for the rear wheels of a dually to keep them from rubbing......
what even more inportant is what kind of balancing are you gonna go with dualed 37s?, airsoft pelets? or regluar sticky wieghts?
