Btw: I recommend Bora brand.
The price was cheap, yes, all 4 for 106.21 I believe. I am willing to bet that if I used OEM ford lugs it would have been fine, the lugs that came with the spacers where a fine thread. I wanted to compare the lugs that came with it th OEM lugs, so I cut into them. The ones that came with the spacers cut really easy with a hack saw, the OEM ones where a bit more difficult. I cant say what kind of metal they where, I just wanted to see which was stronger, and I can say I am honestly surprised that those horrible lugs held my truck up for 30 miles, that was quite impressive.

I also recommend BORA wheel spacers... American made and hub centric. Top quality product!

I agree, I would imagine if I did it right and swapped out the lugs it would have been fine, but now after that experience I can say I will most likely never use spacers on a vehicle I intend to drive on the road / keep.
