I run the 2" Marlin spacers on each corner. My personal way of doing it was this...........Use RED locktite.I didnt torgue anything.I used a 4 way and tightened the studs to the axles till it didnt budge anymorethen I tightened the wheels to the spacers in the same fashion.I have checked em twice and could only budge a couple of the nuts out of all of them but just barely at that.I think your biggest factor is if you are running aluminum wheels on the Marlin aluminum spacers, aluminum is soft and will settle a bit more.My wheels are steel so mayber that is why I have had no problems.
I haven't had the nerve to put them on again. I'll be doing the IFS hub swap to avoid having that spacer between the rim and flange. Word of caution and this was probably a contributing factor was I did not clean the hub surface. Sand any rust or crud on the hub off so that it will get a good clean surface to seat on.
was ure rear axle and drum/hub and stuff destroyed?
Holy crap! I bet the recipient of that tire was flipping out! What is the IFS hub swap as that is a new one to me?

I was thinking of just wiping them down with some acetone or brake cleaner and scraping off any gunk and then Red loc titing them on there and torqueing to at least 90 ft-lbs. How's that sound?
