yah, it's roughly $50 per spacer ...
anyway, with regards to the final product ... i'm not making this a lengthy official review of the BORA spacers ... but I will tell you that both the product and service are top notch upon initial review. UPS tossed the box around so hard when shipping to me the first time that a couple of the spacers got damaged ... but Lenny at Motorsport sent me two new ones right away, along with a return shipping label for the damaged ones.
The spacers are beautifully crafted, and finished as black anodized. The "mini-lugs" to mount the spacers to the hubs were also included.
During installation (if it even qualifies as installation), the spacers went on easily and perfectly. It was no different that mounting a tire/wheel on the hub. Just torque the spacers on by hand to 150 ft/lbs, then mount the wheels. Done.
And as you can see in the above pics, with the 1.25" spacers, the hub bolts stick out about 1/2" past the face of the spacer ... but the stock FX4 wheels have more than enough room for that ... so no trimming or grinding was required. In fact, I could have gone with 1" spacers and still been fine. That's how much room there is on the back of the FX wheels.
With the 1.25" spacers on my 2014 FX4, and stock width tires, it put the outside edge of the tire as close to perfectly in-line w/ the widest point of the body flares as I can tell. It does not make the tires stick out too wide, but does give just enough width to the stance to make it more aggressive and "proper" in terms of proportionality.
The ride of the truck did not change in any noticeable way when driving back from the shop to the office. Everything is as solid as can be, and you wouldn't know they were there (from the way the truck drives) unless you already knew they were there.
I'm not sure when I'll have the time, but I'm going to get off the pavement with these for some moderate "off road" fun so I can report back on my findings ... but I'd be more than shocked if I found that I notice anything other than rock solid performance, and added stability of my truck due to the 2.5" increase in overall wheel base.
Long story short ... Great product, great service/company, and great price. I would recommend them to anyone that wants to make a somewhat subtle and useful mod to their truck - in both appearance and performance.

[MENTION=183597]chaselee[/MENTION] ... good looking truck there for sure 
You mind me asking what wheels those are? Those are some of the best looking aftermarket truck wheels I've seen. Plain, simple, elegant, 6-spoke, not deep-dish etc... very nice touch.
