I imagine 1.25" will cause some issues with the back-side of the front fender, but the skinnier 37s will help your case. That's on the street. You will likely have a lot of rubbing offroad. You really need a lift. Eibach coilovers did the trick for me.
Purchased Body Armor 4x4 front and rear Bumpers, 3" Lights for each bumper, Ford headlight switch, wiring harnesses for lights. Can't wait to get everything installed and post pics!
Man... a day after dropping $$ on new bumpers. Hope my stock rack with BB driver bushing and soon to be RC passenger bushing will hold up for another season!
That's not it, but I couldn't find the thread I was thinking of.
Check this out... there's a video in this thread showing the install of 3/4" spacers along with measurements of the pockets.

I have found that the hub ring around the spacers are not tall enough, as they barely protrude past the champfer on the inner bore on the wheel. This makes it more difficult to make sure it is lined up properly. I wonder if that's what you were dealing with?
So someone on this forum figured out that 0.75" gives you the optimal scrub radius (or whatever it's called) to not rub. Any more than 0.75" and I would have had to cut down or remove the oem rock rails I was running at the time and I would have rubbed the back side of the wheel well liner even...
This is simply not true. Just because the studs stick out from the spacer doesn't mean you have to cut them. There are pockets on the back-side of the sasquatch wheels that clear the studs.
I've been running 0.75" spacers and have not had to cut down the studs. It's tight, but there was enough clearance and I have seen no indication that there is interference.
Edit: I think the Sasquatch wheels are the only OEM wheels that can clear the studs with the 0.75" spacer.
I cleared 37...
With 3/4" spacers on mine, I have no real issues. It's close on the front crash bar and may contact ever so slightly in reverse based on some paint wear, but I haven't heard/felt anything when off roading. I found this to be an ideal spacer for clearance of the crash bars while not interfering...
Lighten up, Francis! You asked for opinions, which were mostly positive and nothing harsh!
FWIW, I'd rock them too if I didn't need to spend my $ on other mods to get my Bronco near a Raptor's performance off road.
