Anyone out there successfully cut their hub studs?
Thats cuz u got the 11th gen f150, mines a '97(10th gen).
Youll be fine if u want to trim the studs a lil so they sit flush but think about it before u do and be careful cuz once u cut them u cant just like glue them back on lol youll have to replace the studs

Thank you, sir. I manned up, and did the deed!

1.5" spacers installed flush after cutting 24 hub studs. What a sparky chore! Will posts some pics of the results soon

Yes your stock log nuts go on the spacers, the spacers come with there own lug nuts to bolt on the hub.
