Wow the studs sheared off the spacer itsself. What brand were they and how many miles on them?

Yup sheared off the spacers. I don't remember the brand off the top of my head I got them off of eBay. I had them on for a little over a year

"bora" makes a great "hub centric" spacer. Great quality, a little pricey but you get what you pay for.

Agreed I just wish I spent the $$$ on them (didn't have it though). To the OP if you are gonna do it buy bora don't cheap out. I know from experience haha. Personally I would just save up the money and get some nice rims with the right offset and backspacing to get the wide stance you want

I did not double stack the blocks..... Surprisingly a Ford dealership did. The previous owner purchased the truck brand new from the dealership and had them install the lift and everything. I didn't know they were stacked until I got pulled over for no mud flaps and the cop did a good walk around looking for anything he could write me up for and noticed the blocks and well..... I guess it's illegal in Utah to stack blocks haha

Where did you buy your spacers? The only one's I have heard with shear problems were the ones bought off ebay or no-name. When I was researching I never found anybody that had any problems with ones from the bigger names and made in USA. I know descriptions on both can be the same much of the time, but it is the quality of the material at the root of it. Just curious.
