Correct. The pic is with no spacers. There are 4 1.25" spacers in the bed in a cardboard shipping box, not installed because I didn't want to cut the lugs. It was going to be more than just the unthreaded part according to the installer.
These are the factory wheels, notice the 'cups' between the holes.
Like I said, the installer was adamant my studs would have needed to be cut for the 1.25" to work. Of course, I was not there. I am hoping to get time today to try in myself, although I didn't get the feeling he was mistaken. We'll see.
Well, the installer was wrong. I get why he thought the studs stuck out too much. The wheel needed to be finagled with a bit to get it to snug up over the spacer (snug fit which seemed like a good thing to me), but the wheels do, indeed, mount up flush without cutting studs. Here's some pics. Of course, the new Weather Tech mudflaps cleared fine before the spacer, but now rub at full lock. I'd like to keep them, but it looks like I'll be trimming the very inside corner of them.

Hey all, I just got a 2018 Lariat Sport Special Edition. I purchased the 2" Rough Country leveling kit for it with the 1" blocks. Are these 1" blocks intended to replace the factory blocks and lower the rear, or do they lift it 1 inch? I'd like to keep a slight rake, but get the front end up 2 inches. Thanks in advance
